Barb's love of museums began in Massachusetts where her family visited many museums before moving to Arizona in the mid 1970s.

Barb worked for the Pinal County Recorder's Office as the micrographic's technician, advancing to office manager and chief deputy where she learned the importance of retaining and preserving documents in the best possible way for future generations to be able to access the records no matter of up-and-coming technology or the obsolescence of current technology. She took record keeping and best practices classes for preserving the documents entrusted to the Recorder's office.

She worked for McFarland State Historic Park from 2011-2019, and is currently the  PCHM’s Visitor Experience Manager. She enjoys helping people learn more about Pinal County and the history of our town.
