Good afternoon fellow classmates, My name is Danielle Garza and I just wanted to tell you a little about me. For my undergrad, I studied here at St. Mary’s for all four years of my degree. My degree was in Public History and I am so excited to begin this journey with wonderful colleagues and professors. What interests me about Public History is being able to work in Museum Education. The idea that I can make these amazing kid-friendly projects that not only make them happy but maybe inspire the next generation to want to know more about history. Another aspect of Public History I find interesting is curatorial studies where you are the voice of the museum in many ways. The one who creates the storyline of a certain history for the public to see and what they will learn.

Hey Danielle, I think it’s great that you also went to St. Mary’s for your undergrad. I came here my junior year from D.C and found it a totally different and far more intimate and engaging experience from larger schools. We both came back for a reason, right? I also feel like your introduction here is maybe being a bit too humble. Dr. Van Hoy sees you as a rock-star on campus and i’m looking forward to hearing more about what you worked on as an undergrad here at StMU.
We’re excited to have you back! Like Gabriel said, you’re a rock star and we’re excited to draw from the experiences you already have!
