I have had the good fortune to utilize my degrees in a profession to which I am devoted and proud of my accomplishments. Normally, with history degrees people assume you are a teacher; however, I was able to enter the museum field. I started my professional career as a National Park Service Ranger/Historian (here in Philadelphia at Independence NHP and the Yorktown Battlefield in Colonial NHP); served as the executive director at Historic RittenhouseTown (16 Years) in Fairmount Park, at the Masonic Library & Museum of Pennsylvania, and the Northampton County Historical & Genealogical Society. My most exciting position was as the Director of the Historic Jamestowne Fund for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation where I was able to closely work with the archaeologists making exciting discoveries at the site of the first permanent English colony in the New World. I have been published in my field in books, professional magazines & journals, and within the general media.

I would stay in the same profession, but fine tune my studies more tightly. Specific Museum education and degrees did not exist fifty years ago as it does now.
