Sarah Shelley – Volunteer Tour Guide at a Local Historical House

2019届毕业生萨拉·谢利（Sarah Shelley）一直热爱历史。 因此，她选择历史专业也就顺理成章了。事实上，她非常喜欢自己的课程和人文学科，所以她还选修了第二专业——古典文学，并辅修了人类学、考古学和神话研究。

Long term, she wants to stay in the history field becoming a museum curator or perhaps getting a PhD to become a history professor.

Building skills through service — both on and off campus

To pursue these ends, she’s volunteered as a tour guide at a local historical museum (the Hamilton House Museum in Clifton, New Jersey). She also hones her presentation skills as a Montclair State Undergraduate Admissions Ambassador and gives campus tours to prospective students.

Also on campus, Shelley is a member of Phi Theta Alpha History Honor Society, serves as a Student Conduct Panel Member and works as a presenter for the Bystander Intervention Program.

In the summer of 2018, Shelley intends to study abroad in South Korea. At Korea University, she will take classes in language, media, and history.

In addition to her career aspirations related to history and museums, she aspires to write a book one day… on her favorite historical figure, President James Garfield.
