About me
Visual Creative and Curator of Experiences
Hi! I’m Pandora. I’m a curator of local and global experiences, and an avid explorer of written and visual artistic expressions.
Having come from a multicultural background, of German and Venezuelan descent, I view the world through a diverse collection of lenses and cultural perspectives.
I’m fascinated with our worldviews influence how we process information, adopt our beliefs, and form our life philosophies. With this passion, I seek to inspire learning, compassion, and understanding in those around me.
My personal journey led me to travel across the globe to learn about my roots in Germany, and to Korea where I taught English for three years.
I love to ignite creative inquiry and expression. Driven to promote history and the arts through cross-cultural experiences, I’ve earned my M.A. in Education and Instructional Design and worked with several museums, exhibits, and conservation centers.
More recently, I served as the Education Director and Museum Curator at the San Diego Automotive Museum and Curator of Exhibits and Collections with the LeMay, America’s Car Museum. When I’m not curating buzz-worthy exhibits or education programs, I’m with my camera. It’s my muse. Observing and capturing the beauty of the everyday brings new perspectives and reveals the interconnectivity of life.

As Education Director and Curator for the San Diego Automotive Museum and the Curator for LeMay, America’s Car Museum, I have had the great pleasure of inviting the public to explore the many fascinating eras, landmarks, and achievements in automotive development.
The automobile has shaped the way we conduct modern life — from the way we eat our meals down to the songs we sing. It is endlessly fascinating to learn where we have come from and where we are going on our automotive journey. I strive to make relevant the impact of the automobile on our everyday lives so even those who do not tout the title of “gearhead” may enjoy the experience and walk away with more knowledge and insight into our world than they had before.
