As the curator of digital experience, Liz Neely will lead the development of the Museum’s digital infrastructure and audience experiences across media platforms. She will make technology key to developing exhibitions and public programs. Neely received her MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, and has a dual BA from Mundelein College in Spanish and History.
