The College Park Aviation Museum is dedicated to preserving and promoting aviation innovations at College Park Airport and in Prince George's County while fostering research, inventiveness, and lifelong curiosity about the history of flight.I manage a museum collection that includes over 1,100 objects, 7,000 photographs, 4,000 books and journals, and archival material, and oversee one part-time collection assistant, whose main responsibility is the library and archives. I also collaborate with staff and contractors to revitalize permanent and create temporary exhibits.In nearly ten years, I have created the museum's first searchable database in Past Perfect, rewritten the museum's collection management policy, processed accessions and deaccessions, maintained loans of artifacts with major institutions and private individuals, and arranged for six traveling exhibits to be displayed at the museum. I have successfully written grants, represented the museum on various boards and on committees within the Department of Parks and Recreation, and have spoken at conferences.From 2008 to 2013, I managed the museum gift shop, managing a budget to $30,000 per year. The average revenue for these years was over $50,000, approximately one third of the museum's overall revenue. From August 2012 to October 2013, during a staffing vacancy, I was in charge of marketing and advertising. During this time, I created and placed ads in local magazines, newspapers and television.

I served as the assistant director and collection manager for a museum dedicated to the collection, preservation and display of objects that told the story of our nation's defense and other key electronics systems and the commercial products derived from them. The position was funded by the Northrop Grumman Corporation, and as I was the only full-time staff member for six months, I frequently acted as liaison between the museum and the corporation.
