Summary

I am currently studying Applied Museum Studies at Algonquin College. My experience in managing an online store, organizing exhibitions for my designs, and working in recruitment has helped me develop strong skills in communication, public engagement, and project management, all of which are valuable in museum operations.

I have always been passionate about museums, exhibitions, and visitor experiences. Growing up in a region known for the discovery of one of the largest and most complete mammoth fossils, I developed a deep appreciation for museum collections, and the stories they tell. My goal is to contribute to exhibitions, visitor engagement, and creative museum initiatives by combining my professional skills with my enthusiasm for museum work.
