I learned so much and made great contacts while working with Jo. During my semester, I assisted Jo in preparing and executing her lecture circuits. I helped to prepare for a group exhibit at the Painting Center and a panel discussion at the Metropolitan Museum and Art. Jo was such a joy to work for; she was warm, generous, and provided great insight into the art world. I have used the skills that I developed while working for Jo in my current career. As Department Manager for Hirschl and Adler Modern in New York, I work a lot with artists. I was so fortunate to have developed an understanding of the artist’s perspective from my internship experience.”</p></div><div class="lw_profiles_info"><div class="lw_profiles_name"><a href="/live/profiles/944-aileen-marcantonio-09">Aileen Marcantonio ’09</a></div><div class="lw_profiles_104"><p> Class of 2009, Major in <a href="/departments/art/art-history.php">Art History</a></p></div></div>
