Leah is an Assistant Research Specialist in the Research Group at the Lawrence Hall of Science at UC Berkeley. At the Hall, she contributes to research and evaluation studies about science learning. She has worked in a variety of museums including the Field Museum in Chicago and San Francisco’s de Young Museum. Leah has also conducted independent research at a science museum in Chicago and an art museum in Oaxaca, Mexico. She has a background in anthropology, and her interests include strategic planning, cultural policy, qualitative research methods and the intrinsic impacts of experiences with arts and cultural organizations. She’s excited about EAP because she loves exploring the overlaps and tensions between science and art, having her assumptions challenged, and debating field-wide issues like sustainability and evaluation. She enjoys cooking, speaking Spanish, and running in Golden Gate Park!
