I received my MA in art history from The George Washington University and my BA in art history and history from Texas Christian University. I have extensive experience in researching for academic papers, blog posts, and for upcoming exhibitions (including writing labels). I am currently employed part time at Dumbarton House, NSCDA Museum as an events and public programs assistant. There, I assist with overseeing events and programs. These include large weddings (100+ people) or smaller programs (>40). I provide tours where I give the detail of the house and the Federal period of the United States. I am quick to solve any problems and can easily handle difficult visitors and guests.
Due to COVID-19, my work at Dumbarton House has decreased. I am also currently employed as a part time virtual tour guide with Street Art Museum Tours, where I provide in depth and fun tours on artists. In addition to creating tours, I research and publish blog posts.
