Summary

Dependable and passionate candidate experienced in guidance and support for children and youths. With excellent problem-solving and communication skills. Working to create safe, learning-rich and productive environments for staff and visitors alike. Having skills specialized in developing and implementing activities to help include others participate and interact in programs. Being mindful of promoting and diversity and being inclusionary in all situations.

I am a 23-year-old student currently in the beginning stages of my master's degree. I am interested in a position within the museum as I believe I can both gain and provide something from working within such an environment. This is due to finding a passion for history during my undergraduate study. Being able to freely explore it within the degree I was incredibly intrigued by modern history and its implications for contemporary societies. Especially how history is viewed and examined with the various socio-economic lenses worn. This further interest was complimented by the secondary major specializing in sociology and anthropology. Which in turn allowed me to explore this passion. Museums as such are something which has interested me for a long time as they are one of the foremost places in which history is represented. As such, an opportunity to work within such an environment is something which would be an amazing chance.
