As a docent I conducted tours of the Museum at Eldridge Street on the history of the Synagogue, its restoration, and the immigrant experience in the Lower East Side of New York. I was asked in the Fall of 2016 to assume additional responsibilities giving tours to school groups to allow for greater tour capacity. Based on my success in this, I was hired as an Educator in May of 2017.
