Work history
    Visitor Host
    Working as a Host at the Museum of London, my main responsibility is assisting visitors to the museum in the galleries and at various information points. When working at the information desk, I also have to assist visitors via the phone and e-mail, whilst also selling tickets for exhibitions and events. As part of my role I also have to deliver short talks about museum objects and tours of the galleries. These have to be well researched and written, exploring important topics in London’s history, whilst also linking them to contemporary issues. Thus far I have looked at photographer Tom Hunter’s piece ‘The Ghetto’ and explored the late 20th century protest movements in London. In my role, I also assist schools with their visits to the museum, showing them around and assisting them with information about the collections and their worksheets.
    Programming Intern
     - 
    During my three-month position as a programming intern at Photoville, I worked mainly on the daytime programming consisting of talks, workshops and education. Next to offering general assistance to my manager, I researched ideas for interesting and engaging talks and workshops, as well as photographers, artists, scholars and other professionals to participate in the program. I worked on organizing a series of book signings to accompany the program, liaising with photographers and publishers. I also developed an outreach strategy for this program and contacted possible sources for promotion. Working with a team from United Photo Industries and teachers, I helped develop an education day aimed at teaching middle school children about narratives in photography, acting as an assistant teacher during the day. Helping more generally in the run-up to the festival, I assisted with the website, writing blurbs and updating photoville.com using WordPress coding, and any day-to-day administrational tasks. During the festival, I assisted with the set-up of the general exhibition area as well as the talks and workshops space, acting as a point of call for photographers, visitors and volunteers.
