I am a history student at Lafayette College aspiring to become a professor. Currently in my junior year, I am eager to gain research and archival experience prior to applying to graduate programs for a master’s degree in history. I live in Tenafly, New Jersey, and would be happy to work at any available location within the area. I am presently studying abroad in Rome and will return on May 5. Upon my return, I would be eager to begin working and contributing as soon as possible. I am open to unpaid opportunities and am primarily seeking experience working with historical research, archives, and collections. I would be grateful for the opportunity to contribute to and learn from one of our state’s outstanding historical societies.
