Catherine Gow

Content editor

Currently working as a Teaching Assistant in Tunbridge Wells

Having graduated with a first-class degree in English and History, I am keen to combine my skills in writing and communication, with my passion for History and archive work.
Due to the known difficulties of commencing a career within the museum and heritage sector, I have been proactive in finding and developing my experience through voluntary work. This is evidenced through my Playmaker volunteering at The Young V&A in Bethnal Green as well as my Collections Volunteer work at The Royal Engineers Museum in Chatham. I have also volunteered for MSM Trust, assisting with the archival material before the collections’ journey to the University of Cambridge; I am keen to continue networking and building my profile in this field.
I’m confident with communicating both written and with individuals (demonstrated through my work as a Teaching Assistant and engaging with members of the public at the Young V&A). The Content Editor position at Archivoz International Magazine, will allow me to develop my skills and enable me to make this my career; as well as advancing the field of archival science and contributing to the wider archival community.
