Title: New Media Project Manager

What do you do at the Museum? I manage online communications (Web sites, blog, e-mail newsletter) and other digital projects for the Museum.

What is your favorite thing about working at the Museum? There is always something inspiring, provocative, challenging, or just plain weird to learn more about. I never thought I’d know so much about coins, voting machinery, segregation, polio, or salsa music. (I’ve helped create Web sites on all of these topics.) Or that I’d get to work in the same building as the first telegraph message, Kermit the Frog, the Greensboro lunch counter, Stephen Colbert’s portrait, and the flag that inspired the national anthem. It’s all in a day’s work here at the Museum and I feel very lucky to be a part of it.
