Experience
I worked briefly at ArtNEWS before being hired in the Editorial and Publishing department of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. During my four years there writing educational content for their website, editing, managing the internship program in the department and supporting marketing, I supplemented my time working in educational positions. I taught weekend history courses to high school students for the New York Historical Society, co-taught AP Art History at a private high school, and did gallery storytelling for children for the Met. I currently hold a BA in Art History, MA in Art History from University of Chicago, MA in Education from University of London. I moved to London in 2014 so that I could move more completely into the educational field, and started a year-long Masters in Museum Education with an emphasis in teaching the humanities. While in school, I taught in many museums in London from the Benjamin Franklin House, to the Courtauld, the Wallace Collection, to the Dulwich Picture Gallery. I also travelled extensively in Europe and Northern Africa which gave me a much richer connection to the history, literature, arts, and geography of this part of the world. After graduation, I stayed on in London tutoring history. I recently returned to NYC to work in museums here and to work with individual students, hoping to entice in them the great love of the humanities that I was exposed to by great tutors, courses, and travels. I wanted to work for Enjoy Education tutoring agency in London, after completing my second MA, to make additional money but also because I had just gained a degree in Education, it was a fantastic opportunity for me to practically apply pedagogical theory to my already strong interest in the subject matters and natural passion for teaching. I had a wonderful outcome with both students and was yet again reminded that you learn the most about a subject through teaching it, even areas you already have a strong competence and knowledge in. I work a lot through interdisciplinary methods, visual learning and storytelling, and try as much as I can to incorporate other senses and games into the learning process where appropriate. I have great fun teaching and sharing my testing tips, knowledge, hard-won writing and reading skills and that is ultimately, more than anything else, what makes me a good teacher.
