RESUME

Professional & Work Experience

2021 - Present

Museum Tour Guide & Associate,
Agecroft Hall & Gardens

As a part-time tour guide at Agecroft Hall, I am responsible for introducing guests to the context of the historic Tudor-era building and its twentieth-century history while facilitating a positive and educational visitor experience. I also work the register in the gift shop and at the front desk, answer phones, and enter visitor information into Altru (Blackbaud) as needed. 

Jun 2022 - Dec 2022

Historic Trades Intern - Bindery, Colonial Williamsburg Foundation

As a historic trades intern at the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, I learned the trade of eighteenth-century bookbinding and interpreting it to visitors. I also developed possible interpretive plans for both the trade shop and my own interpretation, and assisted in prepping and running the shop's weekly summer workshop series on making stitch-books, pamphlets, and decorative paste paper.

Feb 2022 - Jul 2022

Student Thought Partner,
Bray School Lab

While working with the Bray Lab, I took part in researching, writing, and designing a “Story Map” (Adam and Fanny’s World) as a means of introducing the public to the children who went to the Bray School and making the Lab’s research digitally accessible. I also wrote a forthcoming blog post on the process of making the Story Map and the role of public history in projects such as this one.

2020-2021

Copy Editor & Staff Member,
Agency 1693

While a team member at the William & Mary based design firm Agency 1693, I edited, formatted, and posted blogs for clients of the Agency in HubSpot and kept track of reader data through HubSpot analytics.

Archival Research Intern,
Wilton House Museum

Through primary-document research and analyzing Virginia chancery court record microfilms, I located several documents detailing information about the ownership, value, and inventories of Wilton through the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
