The 20/20 Project

In this chapter I describe how growing up in a family who had traditional role expectations for women has challenged how I have taken up varying career options to continue to develop myself. The skills learned in previous roles have put me in good stead for my current role as a museum education. With the security of ongoing employment and the desire to become better at this job, I enrolled into Ph.D. research. In this chapter I discuss the challenges and joy I have discovered on my alternate flight towards a career in museum education that brings my life personal fulfillment and a sense of accomplishment. The year 2020 represents the completion of my current education goals and my desire for 20/20 vision that will extinguish my inner voice expressing doubts about my capabilities juxtaposed against supporting my broader career choices in my role as a leader in the field of museum education.
