“I love telling stories of real people from the past and present who have made a difference in the world and I’m passionate about how collaboration can elevate important work and make an even greater impact.”—Jennifer

Jennifer grew up coming to the museum. As a child she was fascinated by the real Egyptian mummy  that led her to study Archaeology. Her top memories as an employee are working with Ruby Bridges to re-create her classroom in New Orleans for The Power of Children® exhibit and designing the immersive Cretaceous world for Dinosphere®. 

“I have five mostly grown children and I have amazing memories of them coming to the museum as kids. I focus all of my work through the lens of what would delight and engage a young visitor!”
