Science Quest Exhibit at the Arkansas Museum of Discovery

I've been a professional museum writer since I joined the staff at The Franklin Institute Science Museum in 1987.  For 25 years, I've worked with science, children's and art museums; zoos, aquariums, and arboreta; nature centers and state parks.  I've developed an incredibly broad range of written materials for print and web, ranging from exhibit labels and interactives to multi-million dollar grant proposals to hands-on gallery guides to planetarium and live theater scripts. In addition to my writing work, I've also consulted with museums across the country on projects supporting inclusion of individuals on the autism spectrum.
