I translated the museum’s scientific research into compelling stories to engage general audiences and the media. I was the editor-in-chief of the museum's blog, designer and manager of the museum's science journalism internship, a member of the newsletter editorial team and part of the media relations team.

I wrote press releases that received coverage in the New York Times, Washington Post, BBC News, and other national and international news outlets. I also tracked and analyzed news media metrics and coordinated filming efforts with external producers.

I designed and organized the Curt C. and Else Silberman Foundation Fellowship - a program for undergraduate and graduate students that facilitated historical research on DC local history using the Society's collections.

Suitland, Maryland

I prepared and rehoused high priority, medium sized, 3-D objects for long term storage, packed objects into shipping containers and assisted with their relocation to the storage facility, and updated object information using The Museum System (TMS) database.

I researched and assessed the museum's collections for preventative conservation, crafted proposals for and executed rehousing projects, conducted gallery inspections, and hosted the Preservation Cart Game which was designed to engage visitors in the 10 agents of deterioration for artifacts.

I developed and implemented a pop up exhibit on the history of honey bees. It looks at how humans have interacted with honey bees throughout history via new innovations in beekeeping techniques. The pop-up exhibit was featured at the Smithsonian Institution's Garden Fest 2015 and Pollinator Week 2015.

I primarily wrote, edited, and designed interpretive panels for an exhibit that interpreted the Central of Georgia Railway's critical role in Georgia’s growth and decline in post-Civil War national economy. I also developed and maintained a bibliography of library items - making them more accessible to other users.
