Bio
Ron Stafford
I would highly recommend Sarah Lynch. Sarah is enthusiastic in her work and juggles multiple projects with ease. Sarah possesses excellent leadership skills; everyone who works with her feels valued, heard and appreciated. She is willing to learn new skill sets to further her career; she actively sought to learn and master metadata. She works well with the public and plans interesting public educational events. I would use three words to describe Sarah: Leader, Passionate and Dedicated. She would be a great asset wherever she goes, and will be a leader in the museum education field
