I am responsible for the maintenance of the collection of the room I am assigned to, ensuring that visitors respect the rules of the museum and do not inadvertently cause damage. I also provide visitors with a warm welcome and information regarding the house and collection. Upon being assigned to a new room I took initiative and learned as much as I could about the paintings and objects so that I could satisfactorily answer questions.

I worked as a research and archives assistant for the Petrie Museum of Egyptian and Sudanese Archaeology during 2020-2021, working closely in a small team with the Curator on two virtual project placements centred on the Petrie Museum's internationally important archive. I undertook research, transcription, documentation and dissemination of aspects of the Petrie Museum's photographic archive, and also worked on a research project to collate and document digital newspaper clippings referring to WM Flinders Petrie and the Petrie Museum. These projects allowed me to contribute to the development of the Petrie Museum's archive documentation, making the archive more accessible and ultimately feeding into a future consolidated catalogue of the Petrie Museum photographic archive.

Being on the floor all the time meant that I was constantly approached by students to aid them in common issues such as how to print or find a book. Using my knowledge from my previous experienced coupled with my academic one I could easily help them. Through this position I have continued to enhance my customer service skills and troubleshooting ones. I also demonstrated my initiative as I would repair damaged books which I found.

This position allowed me to develop my customer and administrative skills as I would be dealing with inquires from staff and students on a daily basis as well as manage admin duties in the background. This position allowed me to showcase my initiative and organisational skills such as when I organised the entire admin room to make it easier to navigate and find objects. Used my creative skills to create promotional material which I displayed in the library and helped with our social media page.

I was the first point of contact for the library so it was imperative I made full use of my communication skills and make use of my friendly demeanour when dealing with staff and students. I liaised with various departments within the library and contractors to ensure an uninterrupted workflow. This position has made me more confident in myself when dealing with others in a professional manner and has allowed me to develop my communications skills.
