I have a passion for public history that drives my work in the museum field. With a focus on fundraising and leadership, I have developed a broad set of skills that aid the growth and development of mission-driven organizations. These skills include: - Employee Management. At both Historic New England and the Concord Museum, I have overseen between 14 and 25 interpreters, including hiring, training, career development, problem resolution, and scheduling. My focus has been on building a diverse team that presents deeply researched programs using the best interpretive techniques. - Volunteer Coordination. While with the National Park Service I grew Minute Man NHP’s volunteer corps substantially by introducing new volunteer roles and activities and engaging a broad range of recruitment methods, including social media and community outreach. The number of volunteers grew by dozens and volunteer hours more than doubled. - Event Coordination. During my time with the Concord Museum I have led or assisted with multiple large-scale events that have engaged thousands of visitors. My duties have included organizing registration, ticketing, logistics, and set-up. - Reporting & Analytics. While at the Concord Museum I have produced multiple financial, development, and budget reports using CMS, Excel, and other tools. These reports include a ten year study of individual giving and a ten year study of program sponsorship.I look forward to using these skills and growing professionally at a museum or heritage site. By using data-driven development and the latest interpretive methods we can bring history to life for visitors of all backgrounds.
Listed skills include History, Public History, Museums, Living History, and 18 others.
