Graduate Fellow in Conservation
About
Kathryn Peneyra is a visiting master’s student from the UCLA/Getty Conservation program. Kathryn grew up in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and studied chemistry during her undergraduate degree at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. Her advisor at Carleton introduced her to the field of conservation, and her love for site-based work—such as her recent work at Kaman-Kalehöyük in Türkiye and in the Native Village of Quinhagak in Alaska—steered her in the direction of archaeological conservation. While at the Kelsey, Kathryn looks forward to working on a diverse collection of archaeological materials in a museum setting, experimenting with research projects, and experiencing more site-based conservation.
