Meet Carrie Santell
I’m a history geek – and I knew early on I wanted to work in a museum, not be a teacher. I earned my BA in History and I have my Masters in Museum Studies with an emphasis in Collections Management. While gaining experience in different museum settings, I found I enjoyed the museum store world the most; I was able to work with the other members of different departments and also use my creative side in custom product production and interact with visitors on a regular basis.
Born & raised in the Bay Area of California – my family spent a number of years living on the east coast. We were close enough to make frequent visits to Washington DC, Gettysburg, Monticello, and many other great American historical sites & cities. While living on the east coast, it is also how and when my father first began his Amsoil business. But eventually, we returned to California. More recently, I moved to Sacramento for a new job; one that like so many others was affected by the onset of Covid-19.
