Why Museum Education?
�I enjoy working in museum education because I find the opportunities that museums and galleries provide for learning outside the classroom exciting as I believe in an interactive and child centred approach to learning. I am enthusiastic about my subject and enjoy the challenges provided by ever changing groups and exhibitions. I enjoy learning about new areas and developing my skills as I find this keeps my work and approaches to education fresh.�
