The Department of Spanish and Portuguese would like to welcome Tamryn McDermott, who joins us as the Graduate Research Associate for the Andean and Amazonian Indigenous Art and Cultural Artifact Collection. Tamryn is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Arts Administration, Education and Policy. Tamryn is an artist and educator with a background in museum practices. Tamryn looks forward to sharing curatorial, exhibit design, educational program design, and collections management experience with student curators this year. She views exhibition design and programming as a creative platform for engaging with objects and the knowledge embedded within them.

Welcome, Tamryn!
