I'm a grants management and database specialist with the Getty Foundation. I received my B.A. in art history from Scripps College in Claremont, California, attended the graduate program in Art History and Museum Studies at the University of Southern California, and have a M.L.I.S. from San José State University. I worked for many years supporting the administration of the Getty Foundation’s international giving program in the conservation of art and architecture, and I currently focus on improving systems to manage grantmaking, and am collaborating with other foundations to gather and aggregate data about philanthropy. I've made a pilgrimage to the Canterbury Museum in Christchurch, New Zealand, to see artifacts from the heroic age of Antarctic Exploration and hope someday to visit Sir Ernest Shackleton’s grave in South Georgia Island.
