GUEST RELATIONS ASSISTANT, BIENNALE OF SYDNEY
Almost as soon as I started classes at Monash, I began to volunteer at MUMA. I can’t recommend this enough to anyone who is studying at Monash, particularly at the Caulfield campus. At MUMA, I had first-hand experience in a gallery and was able to learn from the wonderful team whose skills and experience in curatorial work, public programming, education and arts administration was inspirational.
