Agnes Scott gave me self-confidence. That confidence has seen her through the challenges of pursuing a career in a male-dominated field, earning her master's in biochemistry from East Tennessee State University while rearing children, and entering and winning art shows after a long season away from painting. You may see other examples of her handiwork at museums around the country. As an interpretative planner with Malone, Inc., in Atlanta, Wood prepares museum displays for public viewing. They shine light through a porthole to reveal creatures that live underwater.
Visitors open 'discovery drawers' to view plant and animal specimens.
Many of my colleagues struggled in graduate school, because their undergraduate experience had not prepared them for hard work. The job with Malone offered Wood an opportunity to develop educational exhibits for many different types of museums. Permanent exhibits make up the majority of her work. Miss. She helps museums determine what content to present and the best way of presenting it. Our goal is to impact the greatest number of visitors.
