      As the Avery Fellow in the Education department at the Bronx Museum of the Arts, my responsibility was to manage correspondence with schools and organizations interested in scheduling group visits to the museum. After scheduling an available educator, these group visits were reflected in the department calendar. I also helped organize and oversee activities during the department's family engagement program titled "Family Affair," which occurred seasonally on Saturdays. When the museum shifted their programs online in March due to Covid-19, I created educational videos for the museum website. Show less
