Later, during my senior year, I briefly leaned about museum conservation from my museology class, and decided through my experiences in archaeology and the museum that I wanted to combine the two. After graduating from SIUE with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Anthropology and minor in Art History, I worked at the St. Louis Art Museum and later completed two internships; one at The Hatton Gallery and the other at the Museum of Antiquates both in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, to build on my museum skills. Within the next school year (2007-2008), what I have planned for myself is to continue to participate on more internships concerning museum conservation, taking chemistry classes at my community college, and hopefully attend Studio Art Center International Florence for the conservation program in August 2007. From there I would like to go to the Getty Institute in Miami, and receive a Masters in Archaeology Conservation researching and working with Classical artifacts.
