Reviews

Marketing Intern

June 2019 - August 2019 • Morristown, NJ

“I wanted to get exposure into the marketing world and felt like a good first step was to do it in an art-world environment that would be related to my minor. The Museum is a smaller, not-for-profit organization that does things on a smaller scale compared to a big for-profit corporation. I wanted to learn the basics of marketing and have my first experience be in a more intimate setting. I enjoyed taking photographs and film and seeing the positive feedback online when I posted things that were my own ideas. I also liked the excitement of working the big events and receptions.”

Collections Intern

June 2018 - August 2018 • Morristown, NJ

“I got hands-on experience with a variety of different fields in the museum industry--collections, curatorial, conservation, and education. It was a great opportunity for me to get a taste of each department within the Guinness Collection, which was the specific collection I worked for.”
