A young up-and-coming Museum Professional

People

Member Since

February 2026

I am a 2025 Graduate from the University of Delaware with a degree in History, minoring in Museum Studies and Anthropology. I have years of experience in Archival and Clerical Support work, and am looking to break into the field of Educational Outreach Programming. I moved to the UK towards the end of 2025, and have been enjoying the perks of Dual Citizenship since then. I am an energetic and pragmatic individual with a penchant for learning anything I can about everything I can.

Ask me about

The Mongol Empire or the History of Board Games!

My super power is

Meeting and befriending the right people at the right time. I always say I am the sum of the people in my life.

I'm looking for

A network of Museum Professionals and opportunities to grow and learn.

What I love about experience design

The former is a story of how much impact (both negative and positive) one person with the right mindset and opportunities can do. The latter is a story of escapism, capitalism, and the tremendous imagination of the Human species.

Best piece of advice I've ever heard
