I am currently working as Outreach and Information Assistant. I am hoping to help the gallery in marketing and fundraising activities throughout my time here. Eventually I would like to move on and learn about other aspects of the museum field, such as curatorial research and collections management.
The Canadian Canoe Museum
During the summer (1998)I completed research on Internet and WWW educational projects for the education department at The Canadian Canoe Museum. The museum is looking for ways to extend their educational services in the future, to reach a larger audience. It was a great place to gain experience and begin networking with other museum professionals.
I also was able to develop a small interactive kiosk within the exhibit space so that visitors are able to see some of the other wonderful water craft within the museum's collection.

Currently in our planning stages this future site will prove to be an educational and interesting site for museum professionals and individuals alike. For more information on this and our online projects...stay tuned.

I am in the process of putting my resume online for the eyes of possible employers. Believe me, I'm a hard, dependably and intelligent person and I am always looking to gain more work experience.
