​

My name is Gabriel Cruz, a recent graduate of Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis's Museum Studies graduate program; you can call me Gabe.

​

I'm driven by a love for museum collections, both in their ability to preserve world heritage and their use as teaching tools.  Museum collections offer an opportunity for visitors to drop their jaws and equally to provoke thought and discourse about the topics we deem important.

​

I walk forward with the flexibility to tackle unexpected situations, the knowledge to know how to handle them well, and the compassion to know why it's worth it.
