With over a decade of experience in the museum field, Kaitlyn’s work bridges education, storytelling, and community engagement. She holds a BA Honours in Arts with a focus in History, a Postgraduate Diploma in Museum Management and Curatorship, and a Diploma in Journalism. If you can’t tell she loves school by now, she also did a diploma in Legal Assisting for fun during COVID. Kaitlyn can be found in all parts of the building – but if you need to find her, look for the woman in cheetah print carrying a coffee!
Originally from Timmins, Kaitlyn moved away for school and spent 12 years gaining experience and living overseas before returning to her hometown. She is a bilingual and an avid traveler—experiences that have shaped her approach to inclusive interpretation and public programming. She also holds a Certificate in Conflict Resolution Training and Facilitation, which she applied while working in Ottawa at the Diefenbunker Museum, where she taught students about conflict resolution within historical contexts.
Kaitlyn’s museum career in Timmins began when she was hired as an Exhibit Researcher, a role that led to the development of the permanent exhibit launched in 2020. In 2021, she became Assistant Curator, and in 2024, was appointed Director/Curator.
She is passionate about connecting people to history through meaningful exhibits and dialogue. Kaitlyn’s work continues to focus on building accessible, community-driven cultural spaces that spark curiosity and foster understanding.
