I have an M. S. in interdisciplinary museum science and entomology. I was lab supervisor and worked with collections for Museum of Texas Tech University. After that I was the Assistant Conservator for the Southwest Collections/Special Collections Archive at Texas Tech University where I managed the State-of-the-Art conservation lab with full time staff and student assistants. I was under the direction of Scott Devine, Head of the Conservation Department. And now have a mobile preservation studio for book and paper and non print materials.
