As a Visitor Services Associate, I facilitated the flow of visitors within the lobby from several positions that ranged from controlling the number of visitors that entered, to greeting them as they enter and directing them to the appropriate locale where other staff can assist their needs.Additionally, there are exhibition pieces as part of the 78th Whitney Biennial that require VS staff to assist visitors with tech equipment, as well as observe the visitors in less traditional exhibition spaces where safety needs to be monitored at all times.

Assisted with gathering data through empathy surveys to discover how visitors felt during their visits. Data was used to determine how certain exhibitions could be changed and/or updated, and to discover what sort of emotions the museum itself was invoking from it visitors. I researched objects via Collective Access for upcoming exhibitions and reported my findings to the department. One such project was about the Mohawk Indian ironworkers responsible for the construction of the World Trade Centers.In an effort to honor the victims and first responders of the September 11th Attacks, thousands of memorials were constructed nationally as well as internationally. The Memorial Registries managed by the Memorial, is a database which is digitally accessible by the public and is updated my its staff but also allows for individuals to make submissions. I researched and submitted six entries to this database during the two months of my internship.Additionally, I performed administrative tasks in the office, conducted research for projects that involved looking for specific information about the victims for their families and collected information regarding any scholarships or non-profit organizations started on behalf of a victim by a family member or friend.

My responsibilities were:Sifting soil to identify relevant artifacts (bones, bone fragments, metal)Assist Archaeologists with day to day work within the main discovery areaI learned how important it was to identify all items throughout the site; to make an informed decision related to its history. The way certain pieces were found, while simple on the surface, spoke to a more underlying situation that could only be purported by its particular discovery. This job was valuable, not just in the field itself, but in life, as it taught me to be delicate and observant in what I was doing, and while there was a set process, it depended on a different technique to adapt to the different findings. There were intricacies that I didn't realize existed in archaeology until I was completely immersed in the day-to-day operations, even for a short while, it was a unique and lasting experience for me.
