Gigi spent 15 years in museum education and public engagement at history institutions prior to coming to NJCH, including stints at Ellis Island, the Science History Institute, and the American Philosophical Society. Helping broad public audiences to see themselves in history and to contribute to the historical narrative has always been central to her work, and she is thrilled to bring those practices to communities throughout New Jersey. Her particular interests include cultural studies, history of science, theatre history, and community-engaged history practice. Gigi has a BA in history and theatre arts from Drew University and an MA in performance studies from King’s College London.
