>> Again, I always loved history.
I remember when I was five I went to the Smithsonian with my parents, you know,
I loved it and I always loved museums and then in seventh grade I started volunteering
at local historic sites and just kind of helping out with tours and things.
So after college I was really into history and I knew I wanted to do something with history.
I went to Millersville, had a great time at Millersville, I love the history department,
and when I got out of Millersville I did kind of get lucky and I got a job at Rock Ford,
which is where I had volunteered in high school, which was really,
really neat and I was very excited.
So I was there for about a year and, you know, I loved it, I loved giving,
I was just giving tours and that's when I started
to realize how much I loved museum collections and I realized if I wanted to advance
in what I was doing and go even farther I needed to go for farther schooling so I did end
up going to Johns Hopkins for my Master's in Museum Studies and then I just graduated in May.
I moved up at my job with that and now I work with the collection and do,
like you've heard, many other things.
