Summer Education Leader - El Pueblo History Museum
-
Jun 2022 - Sep 2022
After previous work experience at the El Pueblo Museum, I was asked to return as a part-time summer staff member. In this position, I aided the summer camp program like I had in the past and served as a leader to other staff members. I ensured that the program ran smoothly and efficiently under new leadership. I designed and facilitated unique hands-on lessons about local Colorado history for elementary and middle school-aged students. I also worked to write a standardized curriculum that could be used in History Colorado education programs across the state. I used museum collections to research and formulate activities for students visiting the museum on field trips. I also assisted with exhibit installations. Also, the museum had a collection of books and one-of-a-kind research materials that had been stored in a backroom for years. I personally took charge to organize these books following the Dewey decimal system and developed an online library cataloging system that allowed me to create an inventory of these research materials. I created this system to allow the general public to access these unique documents while also keeping track of them. I trained other staff members on how to use this system to catalog and check out books. Show less

Seasonal Grocery Team Member

Jun 2021 - Aug 2021
As a member of the grocery team, I worked to replenish products on shelves in a timely and efficient manner. I assisted customers and in-store shoppers in finding their desired products. I ensured food safety by monitoring cooler and freezer temperatures and removing damaged or expired products from the shelves. I received daily shipments and verified that only correct and quality products were delivered to the store. I also maintained backroom efficiency by tracking inventory and cycling through any products stored in back stock. Show less

History Colorado Education Coach
-
Oct 2020 - Apr 2021
My primary role during this position was as the main facilitator for one of History Colorado's after-school programs for middle school students. I created both in-person and virtual lessons that taught not only Colorado history but also encouraged students to learn more about their own families' history while exploring their individual identities and learning leadership skills. Following the completion of that program at the end of the fall semester, I was invited to facilitate virtual programming over the winter break for elementary-age students. I also hosted site tours of museum exhibits for the general public while in this role. Show less

El Pueblo History Museum Summer Associate
-
May 2020 - Aug 2020
Following my previous service at the El Pueblo History Museum, I returned the next summer to complete another 300-hour service. This year, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, we worked to provide students with both virtual and in-person summer learning opportunities. During my service, I helped create virtual learning kits that provided students with the materials to participate in virtual activities that I also helped to facilitate. I also created and taught hands-on lessons about local Colorado history through art, recreational activities, community service, and field trips. I also designed and implemented a marketing plan to increase both virtual and in-person attendance through social media and newsletters. Show less
