Help to come up with and staff events for students at the Tang, as well as talking collaboratively about events that we've attended at other institutions and would like to have at our institution.

Experience in the pre-professional museum world working in the public programming department of the museum. Experience updating calendars with events, researching invited guests and their works, researching other museums to improve functions of the Tang as well as planning a capstone project to present to the Skidmore community as well as the Saratoga community.

Assistant to a professor in the Skidmore College History Department learning and combing through sources written in Ladino in order to help support a book being written. Combining a knowledge of Spanish with a knowledge of Hebrew to learn a new language to then translate sources from that language into English.

Interpreted the information of the Museum to give tours, as well as made it an engaging area for visitors of all ages. While working, a second tour was added, and collaborated with museum administrators to make the tour run smoothly and incorporate not only the history of the site itself, but also the history of the town and the groups of people that are often forgotten about in the history of the town and site.

Learned how to VTS as well as encouraged questions about the art in the galleries from patrons. Made sure that the art work was safe (i.e. encouraged guests to not touch/ bring in food and water into the galleries).
