As an aspiring curatorial assistant, I am committed to preserving and sharing the cultural heritage housed within museums. By meticulously maintaining collections and designing educational and interactive exhibitions, I ensure the integrity and accessibility of valuable artifacts for both present and future generations. Through my lived experiences as a Queer Korean American second-generation immigrant, I utilize my unique perspective to foster deeper engagement with our shared history and cultural legacy. My attention to detail and expertise in archival and design practices allow me to facilitate educational and accessible exhibits, particularly for those underrepresented in both the museum field and within museum collections. Moving forward, I am committed to continue advancing the mission of museums by embracing evolving preservation technologies, refining collection management strategies, and collaborating with diverse stakeholders to enrich public appreciation and understanding of our cultural heritage.SKILLS:• Cataloging & inventory management• Preservation & conservation techniques• Data entry & database management• Object handling • Documentation & record-keeping• Exhibit design • Accessioning & deaccessioning collections• Artifact identification • Object Photography• Collections & archives management • Collaboration & communication• Project management • Data collection & analysis• Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion (DEI)TECHNOLOGIES:• PastPerfect• Microsoft Office• Google Suite• TeamsCERTIFICATIONS:• Cultural Resource Management Certificate - Willamette Cultural Resources Associates
