During my four years there writing educational content for their website, editing, managing the internship program in the department and supporting marketing, I supplemented my time working in educational positions. I taught weekend history courses to high school students for the New York Historical Society, co-taught AP Art History at a private high school, and did gallery storytelling for children for the Met. I currently hold a BA in Art History, MA in Art History from University of Chicago, MA in Education from University of London. I moved to London in 2014 so that I could move more completely into the educational field, and started a year-long Masters in Museum Education with an emphasis in teaching the humanities. While in school, I taught in many museums in London from the Benjamin Franklin House, to the Courtauld, the Wallace Collection, to the Dulwich Picture Gallery. I also travelled extensively in Europe and Northern Africa which gave me a much richer connection to the history, literature, arts, and geography of this part of the world. After graduation, I stayed on in London tutoring history. I recently returned to NYC to work in museums here and to work with individual students, hoping to entice in them the great love of the humanities that I was exposed to by great tutors, courses, and travels. I wanted to work for Enjoy Education tutoring agency in London, after completing my second MA, to make additional money but also because I had just gained a degree in Education, it was a fantastic opportunity for me to practically apply pedagogical theory to my already strong interest in the subject matters and natural passion for teaching. I had a wonderful outcome with both students and was yet again reminded that you learn the most about a subject through teaching it, even areas you already have a strong competence and knowledge in. I work a lot through interdisciplinary methods, visual learning and storytelling, and try as much as I can to incorporate other senses and games into the learning process where appropriate. I have great fun teaching and sharing my testing tips, knowledge, hard-won writing and reading skills and that is ultimately, more than anything else, what makes me a good teacher.
