As an exhibit content developer, my primary responsibility is to research and refine the key messages and outcomes for upcoming exhibits. I rely on my experience as an informal educator to guide me as I make recommendations for exhibit component design, graphics and write exhibit labels and copy. In the senior manager role, I serve as the project manager as the team designs and fabricates the exhibit components. Among my colleagues, I enjoy being consulted as a mentor, editor, someone to bounce ideas around with and the resident Excel guru. I have a good grasp on who does what in the organization and if I don't have the answer to someone's question, I know who does and can point them in the right direction.
