    SUPER-STAFF SPOTLIGHT SATURDAY! Meet Faith! How SUPER-STAFF SPOTLIGHT SATURDAY! Meet Faith! How many years have you worked at the ExpERIEnce Children’s Museum: 3 years. Favorite thing about working at the museum: How it's always changing and getting new exhibits. Future goals: Go to school for the pre-veterinary science program. Fun fact about you: I enjoy doing artsy things and I'll occasionally do small things for the museum that involve me getting my art on. Make sure to say hi to Faith during your next visit!
