Alexandra Kron-Daleo, who holds her MA in Museum Studies and a certificate in Digital Curation from JHU, completed her digital curation internship at the Balboa Park Online Collaborative, a non-profit tech consultancy in San Diego, California.

She also worked to support the implementation of collections management, content management, and digital asset management systems and provide recommendations for system and process improvement. Kron-Daleo now works as the Community Manager for Terentia, a platform for digital asset and collection management, where she develops and facilitates educational resources and learning opportunities for the GLAMP community. She joined JHU as a digital preservation instructor in Spring 2022.
