Chelsea is the Learning and Engagement Officer for ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ Library. She works closely with the archive curators to tell the stories of the collections to a wider audience. She does this via workshops with primary and secondary school pupils and public events for university students and beyond. She leads the Library on the annual ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ Festival project and looks for innovative ways to connect the collections to people outside of ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳. Chelsea specialises in using learning outside of the classroom to increase public awareness, appreciation, and curiosity for heritage, history, and the social sciences.
Chelsea has a BA degree in Anthropology from the University of Florida and an MA degree in Museum Studies from Johns Hopkins University. Her education and interests have led her to a career working in outreach and engagement for museums, parks, and now, ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ Library!
