Jennifer’s message:

I am currently a student in Clemson University’s new Masters of Science program in Historic Preservation. Although the program is based out of Charleston, South Carolina, I am planning to return home to northern New Jersey for the summer. I am currently looking for a paid summer internship to begin sometime in mid-May that will continue through early August.

I graduated from Fairfield University in Connecticut with honors and a BA in Art History. I have studied abroad in both Spain and Italy. This past year in my graduate program I have gained experience in Auto-CAD and GIS through completing building surveys, studied historic preservation law theory, and practiced various methods of researching historic sites. Currently I am an intern working with the Assistant Director at Drayton Hall, a National Trust site.

This summer I hope to gain experience in either the public or the non-profit environment of historic preservation and museum studies anywhere in the tri-state area. The more I learn in my graduate program the more things I realize I am interested in. My strong background in art history gives me experience in the decorative and fine arts; however, I am truly interested in all aspects of the business including design renovations, restoration, and management. I would be interested in any tips about possible opportunities this summer that might guide me towards a career that suites both my interests and talents.

Please feel free to e-mail me at [log in to unmask] with anything that you may feel is useful to my search.

Thank you for your time,
Jennifer Mortensen
