Featured Client: Baltimore Streetcar Museum
As curatorial consultant, I created an Exhibition Content Document that guided the museum as it overhauled its exhibition spaces. This interpretive plan laid out key themes and narratives that tell the story of the streetcar and how it shaped Baltimore. I then curated the exhibit in the museum’s main gallery space that opened under this plan in two phases in 2020 and 2023.
Featured Client: Southern Jewish Historical Society
As editor of The Rambler, the Society's quarterly newsletter, I have produced eight lively pages of news and features about southern Jewish history, four times per year for the past 13 years.
Featured Client: Baltimore Museum of Industry
I curated the museum’s acclaimed new exhibit Key Bridge: Building a Baltimore Landmark. For the multi-year Bethlehem Steel Legacy Project, I served as community engagement specialist and curated Fire & Shadow: The Rise and Fall of Bethlehem Steel, which opened in 2021. I have also curated exhibits for the Maryland Milestone Wall, highlighting the breakthroughs of Maryland inventors and companies. Topics have included the arrival of gas lighting in America, the miracle of the linotype machine, the creation of Old Bay seasoning, and the impact of the world’s first portable electric drill.
Featured Client: Jewish Museum of Maryland
As the museum’s Research Historian for more than a decade, I co-curated its two core exhibitions, Voices of Lombard Street and The Synagogue Speaks. I co-edited its Generations magazine and exhibition catalogs, and also ran its Family History Center. After leaving the museum, I continued to serve as a consultant, co-editing an exhibition catalog and speaking at public programs.
