"Since joining the Morgan in 2015, I have formed deep connections both to the collection itself and to the community of colleagues and benefactors who sustain it. Looking ahead, the next decade promises to be an exciting and transformative period. My vision for the department extends beyond exhibitions and acquisitions to encompass expanded outreach and public engagement, strengthening strategic partnerships, and enhancing digital access to our holdings to ensure this extraordinary collection reaches broader and more diverse audiences."
