I taught undergraduate Introduction to Art and Art Survey.

For the independent film "My True Self," I coached the actor playing the artist on how to appear to draw and paint on camera, and produced 11 paintings and drawings featured as props.

I managed the development files and database, Raiser's Edge, including entering all donations and making the daily deposit of those donations. I also maintained contact with donors and sent out member notifications and donation requests. At museum events, I was present as a representative for the department, and also volunteered as an art instructor for adults and children at Art Learning Center weekend workshops.

I taught undergraduate Art History courses, "Introduction to Art" and "Ancient to Medieval Art Survey" over several semesters.

I worked on a team that produced the exhibition “Memoria: Roman Funerary Monuments from the Speed Art Museum,” participating in decisions regarding design and layout of the exhibit space, and drafting promotional materials. I also composed 2 text panels, translated 4 Latin epitaphs, and painted a 6 foot x 8 foot backdrop for display in the gallery.

I researched the provenance of works of art acquired after World War II to confirm legitimacy of acquisition, and wrote visual descriptions of those works. This information was used to establish a permanent collection database. I also studied works that were newly donated and presented them to the Acquisitions Committee, and assisted with the conservation of a large marble sculpture.

I processed artwork that was submitted to the InSights art competition, and drafted visual descriptions of them for the organization's website, for blind audiences to experience. I also wrote pieces on featured employees for the newsletter. Additionally, I conducted daily tours of the museum and factory, and managed the sales, inventory, and mail orders for the gift shop.
