Curiosity has led me down a path of discovery, from field archaeology to producing digital media for museums. Along the way I developed a passion to create experiences that explore new modes of interaction for museum visitors and the development of content-rich digital media relating to art, history, and anthropology.

Inspired by mentors, I see every project as an opportunity to learn from colleagues and promote collaboration between cultural institutions. Together we use interdisciplinary methodologies to produce digital media that fosters interpretation and active participation among diverse publics.

Since 2011, I have been working in the Digital Media Department at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. As the Sr. Manager of Creative Media Development / Sr. Media Producer, I provide direction for the design, development, and production of public-facing digital technologies and educational multimedia to support the Museum’s collections, exhibitions and programs. This entails working directly with curators, scientists, and educators, aiding in the process of taking their interpretive goals from inception to installation.

Previously, I was the Sr. Media Producer at the J. Paul Getty Museum (2008–2011) where I led the development and production of audio tours, documentary videos, and interactive media installations. Before that I was the Interactive Media Producer at Terra Incognita (2003–2007), where I produced interactive media for a variety of institutions such as the Library of Congress, National Geographic, Smithsonian Institution Museums, and the Indianapolis Museum of Art.

Between 1993 and 2002, I worked in Mexico City developing computer-based interactive exhibits for museums and cultural institutions. In total I curated, developed, and deployed over 70 interactive media installations across Mexico including at the National Museum of Anthropology and National Museum of History.

Before my professional career, I studied Mesoamerican archaeology at the National School of Anthropology and History (ENAH) in Mexico City (1988–1994). It was an extraordinary theoretical-practical education based on historical materialism, Latin American social anthropology and thematic interpretation. During the following four years I worked as a research assistant at the Instituto de Investigaciones Antropológicas (UNAM) where I carried out field work (geophysical prospecting and excavations) as well as laboratory research (archaeometry) throughout the Central Highlands of Mexico.
