Sometimes Danielle Taylor got a little tired of answering the question, “So what are you going to do with that history major?” But since graduation, the 2006 Saint Mary’s alumna hasn’t had time to think about why anyone ever wondered. She did an internship at the Smithsonian National Museum of American History, and works as a docent at the Sewall-Belmont House and Museum in the nation’s capital. And she just landed a job as a sales assistant with the New York Times’ Washington D.C. Bureau.
“The history major can lead you to anything, as I’m experiencing right now,” says Danielle. “What I liked most about the major at Saint Mary’s was that it allows you to follow your own passions. They give you a basic understanding of history but also, the flexibility to explore your own interests.”
