I am the Curator of Folk Arts for the Castellani Art Museum of Niagara University.
I am also a PhD candidate in the Department of Folklore and Ethnomusicology at Indiana University specializing in material culture and museum studies with a special emphasis on dress and adornment in the United States. Currently, I am writing my dissertation–an ethnographic study of wedding dresses in the Midwest.
