MEET PATRICIA McDOUGALL!

I NEED A MENTOR - and I am not sure where to look.

I had my first museum job in 1990 as an internship in
college and have been hooked ever since.

I graduated in 1991 with a BA in Art History and then
waited another 4 years before I began my graduate
work. I now have an MA is Museum Education.

All through graduate school I worked for a small art
museum being a docent and teacher and I loved every
minute of it.  It would have been a dream job, if only
it had been full time.

May be I'm not so young, or young in the field, but, I
moved to Maryland about 4 1/2 years ago and have been
struggling through other museum jobs. (Without benefit
or having been to school down here, or having done an
internship down here.)  Without a mentor to give me a
foot in the door in the Washington Metro area, it's
hard to break into a good Museum Education position.
As you all know, this is an extremely competitive
field, in this area especially.

If someone could please help me to find a way to get
into an Associate Museum Educator position, I would be
eternally grateful!
