Other:
While earning my Master's, I began blogging about related topics (Citizen Curator) and forming connections on Twitter (Citizen Curator (Em) (citizencurator) on Twitter). Besides arts and culture, body-mind health is also important to me. I attended community recreation courses to meet fellow runners, and volunteered as a youth running coach last spring. While living in Milwaukee, I am getting involved in the local art/non-profit scene by volunteering for organizations such as Art VS Craft and 88.9 Radio Milwaukee. I hope to continue with similar activities in the Boston area.
