An Emerging Museum Professional with a Focus on Advocacy and Play

For almost 4 months, I worked at the Carmel Clay Historical Society as the Education Intern in Carmel, Indiana. While there, I helped complete the exhibit "Fashionable Societies: Civil War to Post-War Textiles of Carmel" by making exhibit labels, finishing the exhibit design, and putting pieces on display. Also, I helped digitize over a hundred images from local historians that will later be placed in the city of Carmel Archives. ​

​

In addition to the exhibit design and collections work, I created two online activities for Carmel Clay Historical Society to use via social media. The activities were based upon natural dye making for the "Fashionable Societies: Civil War to Post-War Textiles of Carmel" exhibit and combustion reactions for their exhibit "Carmel a Railway Town." Both were created to appeal to families stuck inside over the quarantine and were given a supplementary guide for families to follow.
