    • The Alamo

      May 1995 - Oct 1995
      Historical Interpreter

      I presented the guests with engaging interpretations, memorable interactions, and excellent guest service while providing a full historical analysis of the Alamo from its inception to the battle of 1836 and beyond. I consistently delivered excellent customer service, including checking reservations, maintaining queues, directing and explaining guests, and resolving issues. I replied proactively to the visitors' questions and provided an insight into the historic Spanish mission and fortress built in the 18th century by Roman Catholic missionaries, and introduced the past of the 18th century to a wide range of audiences using several instructional approaches, communication, and innovative methods.

My remarkable contributions included re-creating History by wearing costumes of the 19th century and acting as real historical figures while performing school and adult tours of Sam Houston's homes, fostering the site's heritage, increasing site awareness, and establishing joint partnerships and stakeholder involvement. Another obligation that I met with great success was to work with the Huntsville Chamber of Commerce to sponsor events, including the organization and coordination of meetings within the Educational Facility.
