TELL US ABOUTYOUR JOURNEY IN THE GARDEN INDUSTRY.My journey has been a bit backwards when you think of the conventional schooling and experience to which most students aspire. Growing up, I knew I wanted to be in Gardens, so I worked in gardens and nurseries first. Training through the Longwood Professional Gardener Program helped hone my experience and interests, and that was rounded out by my degree at Temple University. A two-year Chanticleer Fellowship afforded me the opportunity to travel and learn from experts and experiences at gardens across the US and abroad. The Getty Leadership Institute Museum Leaders: The Next Generation Program also helped me develop skills essential for any public garden leader. After serving as a horticulturalist with Chanticleer for twelve years, I feel as though mybackground has prepared me well to bring new energy and creativity to the Indianapolis Museum of Art.
