I&#8217;m excited to be joining the Association of Nova Scotia Museums as a Digital Collections Assistant for the next two months, working remotely from Edmonton.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-CA\">Since July of last year, I have been volunteering in collections management at the Royal Alberta Museum, where I work with the database and assist with Indigenous collections. Volunteering at the RAM was my first introduction to museum work, and it&#8217;s been really great. I&#8217;m happy to gain further museum experience with ANSM, and look forward to learning a lot during the internship. I love exploring the RAM here &#8211; the Death exhibit recently opened, which has been so interesting to check out.\u00a0<span>I&#8217;ve also visited some museums in Halifax, which were engaging and full of history, and I would love to return to explore more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-CA\">Before going back to school for Arts and Cultural Management, I completed a Sociology degree and Insurance &amp; Risk Management diploma from MacEwan University. Following this, I worked as an underwriter in insurance for several years. I have always loved museums and arts and culture, so going into this field seemed like a perfect fit for me.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en-CA\">Outside of school, I work part time at the Roxy Theatre as a front of house\/box office representative. I like to craft with friends, go for walks and hikes, go to museums, theatre, ballet and music shows, and enjoy photography. I&#8217;m looking forward to meeting and working with the ANSM team for the next two months!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hello everyone!
