\nAfter graduation I continued my work at the Gibson House Museum in Boston which included curation, collections care, archival research, building maintenance, and donor cultivation. In 2024, I left my role at the GMH and began working as the Staff Assistant in the Division of European and American Art at the Harvard Art Museums. This role has offered many opportunities to participate in the everyday tasks that make up curatorial work and learn from amazing art historians I now call my colleagues.<\/p>\n
\nBU was instrumental to both my professional and personal life. Boston is the first city I ever lived in and having such a tight-knit cohort allowed me to not only settle into my studies, but also explore a new place with bright people who shared my love for art. The connections I made at BU through my professors were also essential to me getting the role I have now at Harvard (shout out Dr. Zell)!<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Be open to all the opportunities that come your way because you never know where it may lead!
