Jessica works in the Education Department at the Morgan Library & Museum in New York City. In this role, she manages the logistics and content of school programs offered to students on field trips.
Previously she worked in a similar role at the Long Island Museum, preceded by gallery teaching roles at the New-York Historical Society and the Intrepid Museum.
Jessica first fell in love with museum education interning at the American Museum of Natural History while earning her BA in education. She was excited to learn new ways of teaching with objects and art, and to reach students of all ages and abilities through inquiry-based learning.
Since then, Jessica has earned her MA in World History, and has worked with innumerable students and teachers in both traditional and nontraditional settings. She also puts her academic background to use writing and researching content for multiple educational digital media companies.
