Michelle Reynolds serves as Director of Digital Strategy at Syracuse University. Prior to this, she worked as Marketing and Communications Manager at the Tacoma Art Museum. She earned an M.A. in art history and museum studies from Syracuse University in 2016.
Here is how Michelle describes her experiences at Puget Sound and after: "Before my time at Puget Sound, I had never thought about art history or museum work as options for future employment. Thanks to various research projects, work-study positions, and faculty support, I realized my academic and professional passion for examining how audiences interpret and interact with works of art. I cannot imagine pursuing the work I do today without drawing on critical thinking and effective communication skills, which have their roots in my four years at Puget Sound.”
Michelle reflected on her work at the Wellin Museum in 2017: “Three years in graduate school and a variety of gallery and studio manager positions later, I have spent the last year working at the Wellin Museum of Art at Hamilton College as their Curatorial and Programming Coordinator. In this role, I assist with curatorial projects and facilitate educational experiences for the College community while managing the museum’s social media presence and coordinating marketing and publicity efforts. I’m looking forward to working with our constituents to expand visitation and meaningful engagement with our collection and exhibitions in-person and online."
