It didn’t take long for Michèle Jubilee to realize the tangible benefits of joining the San Diego Emerging Museum Professionals (SDEMP), a local organization aimed at building bridges and nurturing connections for those interested in working in museums and cultural organizations.
“Being part of SDEMP as a community member and board member has genuinely shaped both my life and my career since I moved to San Diego in 2023,” she said. “I came to the city with an academic background in art history and visual arts, and professional experience in education, public programming and curatorial work in museums, as well as freelance creative projects. However, breaking into the local museum field was tough! There simply weren’t many openings, and it was easy to feel disconnected.”
Thanks to connections she made through SDEMP, Jubilee landed her current job: Conference Coordinator for the California Association of Museums (CAM), which is hosting its annual conference in Los Angeles in March.
Jubilee took some time recently to talk about SDEMP and its role in the community.
