AIP Interns / Volunteers

 

Caitlin Hart - Intern
intern photoCaitlin studied Art History at Tufts University, and during that time helped out at a number of cultural organizations she loved, but that usually required her to sit at a desk in front of a computer. Her favorite work in the past was blogging for her study abroad program in Prague. What could be better than traveling, seeing centuries-old beauty, and writing? During her first post-grad summer in New Hampshire, surrounded with the historic buildings she loved so much but stricken with great wanderlust, AiP gripped her interest. Here was an organization working actively to keep historic sites – and the communities they call home – standing strong.

 

Caitlin is pursuing a career in cultural preservation – whether it be in archives or architecture – and is happy to support AiP’s work with her writing, her hands, and her love of history.

During her time there, she studied abroad in Greece (where one of her favorite archaeological experiences was matching ancient pottery shards), was captain of the swim team, and earned a degree in history. She attended Pacific Northwest Preservation Field School with the University of Oregon for two summers, during which time she developed a particular interest in historic preservation.

 

Susie has been an intern for the Nevada Historical Society, near her home in Reno, Nevada, and for the National Park Service in Anchorage, Alaska where she helped research buildings to be added to the National Register. She wrote her senior thesis on the post-WWII decline of the American front porch as an architectural feature.

 

Susie is looking to further her education and pursue a career in the realm of historic preservation and architecture.

 

 

 

Tyler Walton - Architect & Drafting Intern
intern photo Tyler Walton is a graduate of Boston Architectural College with a design degree specializing in historic preservation. He has both hands-on construction trade experience and architectural design/drafting skills. His studies and work have taken him from Richardson-Romanesque, Tiffany, and Upjohn designs in Boston, to ancient sites in Greece such as Delphi, Ancient Corinth and various sites in Athens.

 

Previous employers include: Goody, Clancy, and Associates; Boston Architectural College; and BNK Petroleum. Recently participating with the BAC/Tufts Solar Decathlon team sponsored by the Department of Energy, Tyler has a newfound interest in incorporating sustainable design into conservation.

 

Tyler is dedicated to AiP because of the balance of value and satisfaction it brings to all involved. AiP offers individuals the ability to take part in meaningful recreation, while at the same time contributing invaluably to those in need; Tyler thinks this exchange of efforts should exist in all aspects of our lives.
