- Bio
- In regards to my museum experience, I am completing an internship at the California Historical Society in San Francisco, CA. One of the main projects I completed was the coordination and installation of the exhibition Hobos to Street People: Artists' Responses to Homelessness from the New Deal to the Present, which opened on February 17, 2009. In addition, I am working with staff on the development and execution of public programming events created for the exhibition. In 2006, I completed coursework towards a Museum Studies Graduate Certificate from Tufts University. My coursework included Exhibition Planning for the Art Museum and Collections Management. In addition to my enrollment at Tufts, I gained valuable experience in the museum field through several internships and work study programs during my undergraduate career at Mount Holyoke College--including two summer internships at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
