Matthaei Botanical Gardens, University of Michigan, 2020
The Henry Ford, 2021
I hope to work to create blended agroecological landscapes within museums and on farms, two realms that are becoming increasingly relevant to one another as farms adopt agrotourism. Farms and museums, as multi-purpose sites of education and food production, are increasingly important to bridge communication gaps between rural and urban centers, consumers and producers.

Serving as a Simmons Intern for the summer of 2021, I conducted historical research, wrote articles (featured below), and made interpretation plans for the installation of Detroits Central Market Vegetable building in Greenfield Village.
