Remember that big impact you were going to make?

But now…

you’re wearing All.The.Hats and you feel overwhelmed and unsure?

Your Work Matters

Welcome to Modern Museum Education, a website dedicated to YOU, my fellow, stretched-thin museum educator!

Managing a museum education department can be overwhelming, especially when you're not trained in management. It's hard to know where to start, what to prioritize, and how to get buy-in from your board and bosses.

Plus, museum educators wear a lot of hats, and I know how hard it is to get all the things done today and still have any creativity left for tomorrow.

But today is the day that everything changes.

It took me years to figure out what really turns a spark into substance on the museum floor.

But now you can get access to multiple field-tested tools to plan, run, and evaluate programs! Avoid common program pitfalls, survive summer camp season, evaluate a program’s ROI without a headache, and more!

Download them all with one free sign-up. (Bonus - you’ll get access to all future resources, too!)

I passionately believe that museum education can change the world.

But this is not easy work. I know because I’ve been there.

But I also know it can be easier.

After spending the first half of my career in crayon-filled trenches of museum education, I dusted off my backpack and headed back to school for PhD in Educational Leadership and Policy, researching children and family museum visitors, so I could better support YOU.

Now I spend my time creating practical and professional development resources for overwhelmed museum educators like you.

I can help you confidently accomplish all the aspects of your job, efficiently and with more joy, so that you can negotiate for more resources and create a bigger impact in your community without burning out.

If you’re looking to reclaim your time, creativity and emotional energy, you’re in the right place!
