About Jocelyn Burgess

I am an experienced leader that offers an honors degree grounded in historical research and presentation with an emphasis of the reflection of history recorded through artistic expression, coupled with educational techniques and practical experience. Versatile investigation, preservation, archival, museum and gallery practices complimented with strong office management skills focused on conserving the global heritage, procedures, traditions and artifacts for future generations. A strong planner, self-starter, and problem solver who readily adapts to change, works independently as well as cohesively and exceeds expectations. Able to juggle multiple priorities, meet tight deadlines without compromising quality, and an extensive background in the proper care and management of art, artifacts and documentation both in and out of the educational environment.

What I can bring to the program is an extensive education in the global view of history including; Ancient Rome and Greece, World Civilizations, Renaissance to Enlightenment Humanities, History of the African Continent, History of the Islamic Middle East, From Afghanistan and Pakistan, American History, U.S. and Latin Relations, English History, and Archeology & Pre-human History.
