Annie brings over fifteen years’ experience in informal education to her role at the JFCS Holocaust Center. Previously, she held positions at various museums and cultural institutions, including the Rubin Museum of Himalayan Art, the Skirball Cultural Center, and the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art where she developed educational and accessibility programming for students, teachers, adults with memory loss, and people with disabilities. As part of this work, she created a training on anti-ableism that focuses on disability history, culture, and how our actions and advocacy can create more spaces for acceptance and belonging. The important role that survivors played in Annie’s childhood led to her passionate belief in inclusive spaces for Holocaust education, where critical thinking and curiosity can foster conversation and learning. She holds a MA in Disability Studies from CUNY School of Professional Studies and a BS in Studio Art from Skidmore College.
