About

Skic headshot 2021.jpg

    As Curator of Exhibitions at the Museum of the American Revolution, I am part of a team that is seeking to transform the ways people engage with America's revolutionary history and our nation's ongoing experiment in liberty, equality, and self-government. I joined the staff in June 2016 and have helped to raise the profile of this young institution located in the heart of historic Philadelphia. 

    Growing up in central New Jersey, I developed a lasting passion for the history of Colonial America and the early United States. In high school, I began working as an historical interpreter at Washington Crossing State Park in New Jersey.

    My undergraduate studies led me to American University in Washington, DC, where I earned my B.A. in History. As an undergraduate, I completed two internships at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. In 2014, I was awarded a fellowship to attend the distinguished Winterthur Program in American Material Culture at the University of Delaware. I graduated with my M.A. in American Material Culture in 2016 after completing my thesis about Philadelphia's gunsmiths during the Revolutionary War.  

    Apart from my professional and educational experiences, I am passionate about living history and baseball.
