The Mosaic Museum is dedicated to the history of Jekyll Island. The historic district includes the cottages and club buildings that were once owned by the Jekyll Island Club and its members during the Gilded Age.

The museum educator position was precisely what I was looking for as a first step in my career. In this role, I really got to spread my creative wings and build educational programming from the ground up for a brand new museum space. I helped create new tours that blended educational facts with exciting premises, new supplementary activities for our gallery space that promoted interactivity and new perspectives, and a new curriculum to reach students in their classrooms if they couldn’t visit us.

This role expanded my skillset, which I had already built in customer service and public-facing engagement. It also developed new skills in event planning and management, large-scale communication, and marketing.
