Summary: I have recently completed my Masters in History and I am looking to begin a career as a historian. With my extensive knowledge of history I feel that it would be beneficial to pass it along to the next generation especially given the current state of affairs. As a younger individual, I feel like I would be able to bridge the gap between a historical subject and people in our modern era.

Intern • Stockton University Special Collections & Archive (American Studies graduate course)
This internship built a sturdy foundation as to the ins-and-outs of archival research and maintenance. During this time, I assisted my internship supervisor in the completion of an inventory of their Rebecca Bourgeois – Estell collection; this consisted of reading 18th and 19th century documents and matching them to descriptions on a google spreadsheet, and making record of documents that were not previously documented in the existing inventory. I created two transcriptions from 18th and 19th century style cursive to digital text; the first was from the Emma Van Sant Moore letter collection dated approximately 1899, and a land indenture from the Estell – Bourgeois dating March 21, 1783, both documents had not previously been transcribed. Finally, I used archive information to conduct research on the Lenape Natives of the South Jersey area and created a short presentation on my findings, additionally I conducted research on Lenape residing in the Galloway area in order to advocate for the creation of a land acknowledgement.

I cared for and maintained the archives and used archived information and artifacts to construct my programs. I have worked on community outreach, an objective I have focused extensively on.

Tour Guide • Tuckerton Seaport and Baymen’s Museum
As I tour guide, I was able to build on my existing customer service and communication skills through working in the gift shop. Working in the gift shop allowed me to demonstrate my understanding of history by answering customers’ questions regarding many different historical topics. I gathered engaging information regarding the history of the Barnegat Bay area through books, from my fellow tour guides, and through extensive independent research via primary sources. I spent some time giving creek tours on the Tuckerton Seaport’s pontoon boat; as well as conducting lighthouse tours for school field trips.
