Hello everyone. My name is Natalie Walker. I am a History major at UMKC with an emphasis in Public History. My passion is museums, and more specifically, museum education. I love working with people and developing programs and ideas that make museums more accessible to the public. Moreover, I think history deserves to be remembered both accurately but also with new and fascinating interpretations that engage wider audiences. OK, I think I am starting to ramble…

I will be interning with the Office of Historic Preservation this semester and helping to write and produce an updated guide to Kansas City’s historic buildings and neighborhoods. I have never done anything like this before so I am equal parts nervous and totally excited!  I am looking forward to blogging with everyone this semester!
