Talks: Keynotes, Presentations and Publications 

I recognize the privilege and responsibility of working in a large cultural institution and frequently contribute back to the industry through my work on the board of Museum Computer Network, speaking, and writing, as well as, frequently hosting visits from classes and colleagues from around the world who want to discuss the practice and potential of digital.
