This summer through the Berkshire Hills Internship Program she’ll be working at PRESS Gallery. During the summer of 2013, she was an intern to the curator of photographs at the Princeton University Art Museum where she learned a lot about curatorial practices. She loves reading, making photographs, practicing American Sign Language, and collaborating with writers and other artists.ĭuring the school year she is a teaching assistant, note-taker for deaf students, and volunteer at the Image Permanence Institute. She recently graduated from the Visual Media program at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York. Her interests are in the history of photography, museum studies, imaging systems, and graphic design.

NICOLE LECLAIR was the 2014 BHIP intern at PRESS. He’ll be sticking around as PRESS’ jack-of-all-trades (master-of-none.) He also likes a DIY project to makes his Vermont log house extra special, and is renovating and decorating a couple of apartments in North Adam’s historical flatiron building. He has two shepherds, too, but they don’t give him eggs, so they’re just all right. He enjoys exercising his peepers with a good book that involves either science, mystery, myth, or magic (combinations of the four are even better.) He has a number of chickens he adores, and not just because they give him eggs. His favorite films are The Passion of Joan of Arc, The Bicycle Thieves, Dr. Jonas has his BA in Media and Cultural Studies, and is a lover of film. This fresh energy drew him to PRESS, where Jonas started volunteering for PRESS to help create a type sample book for PRESS type cases, and he’s been around since. Before the move, Jonas was a student at Florida Atlantic University, where he worked as a student assistant, and he touched the wonderful world of letterpress printing. He moved to the area with his partner, George, in the summer of 2013. MCCAFFERY is a native born Nebraskan who sings about the wide Missouri and likes his cornbread. Our list of interns is VAST! These are just a handful of those young people who made PRESS what it was!
