Good

afternoon!

My

name

is

Meghan

Musarra

and

I

am

a

recent

graduate

from

Purchase

College,

SUNY

where

I

received

my

Bachelor’s

Degree

in

Art

History.

I

recently

found

a

job

posting

on

indeed.com

for

a

position

as

gallery

assistant.

I

have

held

two

internships

and

completed

several

courses

that

qualify

me

for

this

position.

Arts

management,

museum

functions

and

gallery

management

provided

multiple

opportunities

for

hands-

on

learning.

In

May

of

2011,

I

created

a

to-

scale

mock

exhibition

using

pieces

from

the

Neuberger

Museum’s

collection.

I

was

able

to

volunteer

as

a

docent

for

the

Neuberger’s’

spring

2011

exhibition

Fifty

Years

of

Latin

American

Art.

Arts

management

stressed

the

importance

of

building

and

sustaining

client

relations,

budgeting

and

working

for

non-

profit

organizations.

My

time

spent

at

Miranda

Arts

Project

Space

consisted

of

managing

social

media

sites,

hanging

artwork

and

assisting

resident

artists.

As

an

assistant

archivist

I

was

able

to

have

my

gloved-

hands

on

original

photographs

and

prints

for

hours

on

end.

I

re-

organized

the

archive’s

entire

collection

of

Gordon

Parks

photographs.

Lastly,

I

find

that

my

years

of

restaurant

experience

to

be

worth

mentioning.

Various

hostess

and

waitress

positions

have

greatly

increased

my

confidence

and

ability

to

converse

easily

with

people

of

all

ages.

I

have

received

many

compliments

on

my

personable

character

and

approachable

demeanor.

I

would

truly

appreciate

the

opportunity

to

be

considered

for

this

gallery

assistant

position

and

would

be

thrilled

to

meet

for

an

interview

at

a

time

that

is

convenient

for

us

both.

Thank

you

for

considering

my

enclosed

resume.

Sincerely,

Meghan
