Hey bird-twitter! This little guy just landed on my balcony in Chicago tonight. A little blurry but he was about 8-10” tall I think.
Is this a peregrine falcon?

Such a fun conversation! Thanks for having me @MaxAndersonUSA. Great to reconnect on all the digital opportunities still present for museums and all the more important these day! #musetech

Having grown up just outside the city – it’s pretty amazing to be returning. I’m looking forward to getting to know this new team and to bringing great experiences with art to Milwaukee!
I want to say a big thank you to all the friends and colleagues that rallied around to encourage and support me during this time. You made a big difference to me these past few months and I am truly grateful.
I’m sad to say that my role at the Shedd Aquarium is coming to an end. Like so many brilliant colleagues across the sector – the financial toll of the pandemic has meant the Aquarium is making tough choices about staffing and my role is among those impacted.

I loved the chance to build and shape a great staff and to create experiences that brought joy and made an impact on people and the planet. Such super-stars on this team and I leave with complete confidence that we’ll be seeing some amazing things from them in the coming years.
I am grateful for a family that loves me, great and brilliant friends all over the world, and support from my Shedd colleagues as I’m exploring opportunities for the future.
Onward!
