Meet our museum staff

The Campbell Museums team may be small, but we are a dedicated group of City of Campbell employees committed to preserving the city’s unique historical identity within Santa Clara County. Our work includes preserving historic buildings, managing collections, designing and curating exhibits, developing educational programs, organizing special events, and representing Campbell's history through presentations and an active online presence. We also recruit and coordinate a strong volunteer base, liaise with the Museum Foundation, City commissions and other civic organizations, and facilitate weddings and rentals at Ainsley Garden. We wear many hats, and each day brings new challenges, new historical discoveries, and fun and rewarding experiences.
