Introducing the Intern...


I'm Caitlin and I live in Seoul, Korea.  My undergraduate degree is in Art Education and Art History and I have been lucky enough to spend a good chunk of my teaching career internationally.  Here in Seoul, I teach high school ceramics and general art to middle school students.  Before Korea, I lived in Ecuador and before that I lived in Honduras.  I really love living in Korea (and especially teaching ceramics), but at the moment, I am definitely missing the tropical climate in Honduras!  Growing up in Wisconsin should have me prepared for these freezing temperatures, but my body seems to forget every single year!

I've been hoping to complete a virtual internship ever since learning that a such thing exists!  I know how important it is to have the chance to gain real-world experience (student teaching was key during my undergrad!), but I was worried that I wouldn't have the opportunity because of my location.  I'm excited that that won't be the case though!  This semester, I will be working with the California Digital Library's Web Archiving Service.  They have expressed interest in updating their video tutorials so I will be in charge of creating more user-friendly videos and potentially a more fun "marketing" type of video to promote web archiving.  I'm really excited to get started!
