Andrea Jones

(she/her)

Andrea is a museum consultant, educator, and big-picture thinker. She designs learning experiences that enable people to widen their perspectives, learn about themselves, and connect with our common humanity.

At the heart of her work are her values in action: empathy-building, social justice, curiosity, and creativity.

Starting as a high school social studies teacher in Atlanta, Georgia, she followed her interests in experiential education to a career in museums. Now living with her family in the suburbs of Washington D.C., she has been fortunate to have worked within several different kinds of museums - large, small, history-based, agriculture-focused, social justice-centered, and with varied organizational structures and funding models.

From 2020 - 2023, Andrea held a leadership position at Smithsonian’s Anacostia Community Museum - where she created innovative strategies that allowed the museum to remain relevant to communities during the pandemic. She also curated a ground-breaking exhibition that helped visitors tap into their inner activists.
