@mckennabarney
Art history graduate skilled in research, museum operations, and phlebotomy-trained patient care.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am an Art History graduate from Utah Valley University with hands-on experience in archival research, museum workflows, and exhibition preparation. I combined academic study—museum studies, exhibition design, and art research—with practical project work such as a raisonné of Francis Davis Millet.
In museum and volunteer roles I processed incoming artworks, labeled and organized collections, supported gallery monitoring and object security, and assisted visitors and staff. I also created and refined research tracking and documentation that improved accessibility of archival materials.
Concurrently, I worked as a phlebotomist where I trained and mentored new hires, developed onboarding materials, managed recollection protocols and records, and delivered high levels of customer care—demonstrating strong organization, collaboration, and attention to detail.
