Shaelyn Amaio

When I was a kid, my family took me on vacation to Walt Disney World and sent me to summer day camps at museums. That's all you really need to know. Now, I'm a history museum educator with a background in content development and project management and a serious love for [almost] all things in the cultural and tourism sectors.

I have an undergrad degree in anthropology, a graduate certificate in museum education, and a masters in museum anthropology. I wrote my thesis on the presentation of history in Disney theme parks, and I did a capstone project on youth employment programs in museums. I've worked and interned in museums in Connecticut, Boston, and New York City, and now I'm living and working in Montgomery, Alabama.

A brief list of things I love to talk about: roadside attractions, museums, my cat, other people's dogs, theme parks, taking pictures, the internet, snail mail, cultural production, gender equality, ice cream.

Find me in your favorite corner of the Internet, and let's chat.
