About
Nathalia joined the Hood Museum of Art in October 2021 as the business and digital infrastructure assistant and officially joined the digital platforms, media, and archives team in January 2023. As the Collections Information and Digitization Specialist, Nathalia manages the day-to-day functioning and usage of the collections management system and performs collection data entry with mission-critical data reconciliation and digital accessibility in mind. Nathalia works with the registrars and digitization technician in the selection and handling of artwork for digitization, focusing on the digitization of new acquisitions, works for exhibition and publication, and imaging for provenance research. Within the first year of art handling, Nathalia had allowed for the high-resolution digitization of 7% of the Hood's collection, now available on the museum's collection webpage. Nathalia received her BA in anthropology from Weber State University, MA in museum studies and digital curation from Johns Hopkins University, and a post-baccalaureate certificate in collections management and preventive conservation from George Washington University. She first began working in museums in 2014 and has held roles in visitor services, exhibitions, and collections management at various history, natural history, and science and technology museums.
