Past experience working in arts and culture: My experience working in arts and culture actually began with the GPCA! During high school I was a member of the STAMP Teen Council. I worked in the costume shop for my university’s theater department and occasionally worked backstage during productions. After graduation I briefly worked at a creative experience agency that worked with various museums across the country.

Favorite thing about working at the Cultural Alliance (so far): I really enjoy learning about the different cultural events going on in the city.

Favorite cultural institutions/attractions/events: Growing up in Philly, I always loved the Franklin Institute. I have so many wonderful memories of different exhibits and learning about science in a fun, hands-on way.

A fun fact about yourself: I once recorded an audio tour for the Philadelphia Zoo!
