2021­-2022 Museum Interns

• I was the Vice President of Active Minds and the House Chair of Kappa Kappa Gamma
• Working at the Denison Museum allows me to experience a field very different from my own with professional guidance. It has given me different worldviews and the opportunity to be surrounded by art, as I have been since I was young.
• I love reading anything and everything, and listening to music with my friends!
• I stayed on campus over the summer and worked at the Denison Bookstore. I was also the KKG summer “house mom” - I lived in and managed out house over the summer.

I enjoy working at the Denison Museum because it allows for the creative expansion of skills I’ve developed in the classroom in a real life setting. As a cinema major, I’m always looking for ways to apply my technical camera skills to other things I’m involved with on campus. Videos are the most powerful tool of communication to share the hard work we’re all doing down here at the museum with the rest of the Denison community, and I love being a part of that process.

I like baking, crafting, and watching movies that are so bad they’re good.

Over the summer, I worked remotely for a film data company as a Media Genome Analyst and as a lifeguard.

Post graduation I plan to complete a volunteer year with a nonprofit organization while I figure out how I want to use my cinema degree.

• As a Studio Art major, I have always loved art and art history. I am interested in the field of Museum Studies and design, so I love getting the hands-on experience that comes from interning at the Denison Museum. It has challenged me to think outside the box and explore new creative mediums and platforms.
• I love drawing (especially people), listening to music, and going on drives with my friends!
• I am a new transfer, but between my first year at another college and my sophomore year at
• Denison, I took a gap year and interned at an art gallery in my hometown of Atlanta for a year. I was able to learn so much, including exhibition design, curation, and graphic design.

• Working at the Denison Museum is a great way for me to learn about what a career in Museum Studies would be like, which is something I am interested in pursuing after graduation.

I also love exploring the collections area, because the museum has such a wide variety of art and artifacts.
• In my free time, I like listening to all kinds of music, but especially 60s rock. I also love reading historical fiction or mystery/thriller books, as well as watching period films and tv shows!

I cannot say the specifics of what I will be doing after graduation, but over all, I just want to be happy with whatever it is.

If I am able to do that at all in the future, I will be happy.

• Early last year, I secured a position at the Denison Museum after seeing the description in the student jobs list. While not exceptionally well-versed in visual art, my experience studying Medieval Art and Architecture with Professor Karl Sandin revealed that understanding art in historical and social contexts benefits ones perception of the world at large.

• This past summer was my second year working as an assistant to the owner of a landscaping company.

• I love working at the museum because I love seeing art with history. I’ve always been very interested in ancient artwork.You experience a very strange feeling looking at pieces that have been around longer than some societies, knowing that at some point in history another human took the time to create work that they likely assumed would be lost to time. It inspires me in my own work, as I can incorporate different mediums, techniques, and aesthetics.
