Timeline

Professional experience for Clara Wanatirta

  • Current 4 years and 6 months, since Jun 2020

    Language and Communication Trainer

    Self-Employed

    I work with corporate and service-oriented professionals, executives, entrepreneurs, as well as students to make communication in English work for their respective goals. From international partnerships, cooperations, transactions to academic pursuits, my focus lies on the unique needs of my clients. No two training programmes are the same, because no two clients have the same needs or goals.

  • Current 6 years and 9 months, since Mar 2018

    Language Trainer

    Self-employed

    I am an English Language trainer based in Düsseldorf. My clientele mainly includes corporate professionals needing to fine-tune technical business language skills such as public speaking (e.g. presentations, panel discussions), writing (e-mails, reports, PowerPoint slides), and other complementing skills (listening and reading) that would make intercultural communication at professional level more effective and pleasant.

  • 1 year and 6 months, May 2016 - Oct 2017

    International Museum Fellow

    Lehmbruck Museum

    The fellowship programme was initiated by the Federal Cultural Foundation with an aim of advancing museum practices all around Germany. I was tasked to look at the relationship between the visitors and the museum. From analysing current visitors' behaviours, wants, and needs, to creating opportunities for potential visitors to come into contact with the museum (both digitally and in-person), the fellowship programme at the Lehmbruck Museum was thoroughly experimental and fluid in nature.

  • 1 year, May 2015 - Apr 2016

    Writer and Editor

    Various Projects

    I worked on freelance basis and a writer and editor for different organisations in Indonesia. One was a travel magazine (entirely written in English), and another was an art gallery (tasks also included translating Bahasa Indonesia-English and vice versa). I also took on a copywriting role for an education startup company and assisted a local business in its digital communication (writing and visuals).

  • 5 months, Jan 2015 - May 2015

    Education and Programming Consultant

    art:1

    I was hired by a private museum in Jakarta, Indonesia to find opportunities to engage its visitors and potential audience by means of digital communication, public as well as educational programming.

    Head of Content

    AbraResto

    I managed a team of copywriters at a food tech startup company in Jakarta, Indonesia. My duties included creating monthly themes to be implemented on all written and visual materials for the company's website, app, and social media accounts; I also managed my team's workflow, provided skill training, and spearheaded special projects.

  • 11 months, Aug 2013 - Jun 2014

    Museum Educator

    Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine

    The cathedral is an active house of prayer in New York City; in parallel, it is also utilised as a historical and cultural site. I taught various education programmes (tours and art workshops) being offered to schools wanting to visit the cathedral as part of their classroom education. On occasion, I also delivered public tours for adults and families.

  • 7 months, Jan 2013 - Jul 2013

    Program Intern

    Cool Culture

    Cool Culture is a literacy non-profit organisation in New York City that aims to provide access to cultural institutions to low-income families. I assisted the Program Director to liaise with partner schools and cultural institutions to create workshops, family days, as well as informative sessions. These programs aimed to teach educators and legal guardians to integrate art, culture, and literacy as part of the families' daily lives.

  • 6 months, Jan 2013 - Jun 2013

    Museum Guide Intern

    Brooklyn Museum

    I assisted the Museum Guide Manager in delivering informative workshops for the Brooklyn Museum's volunteer guides. In turn, I had the opportunity to deliver public tours and refine my skills in Museum Education.

  • 3 months, Jun 2012 - Aug 2012

    Education Intern

    The Jewish Museum

    This internship at New York's Jewish Museum allowed me to design and implement art projects targeted at children up to 12 years old. Every week, I would explore and create projects for drop-in art workshop sessions for children with their legal guardians. I was also tasked with research projects, inputting and interpreting program survey results, and other general assistantship duties within the education department.

  • 11 months, Aug 2011 - Jun 2012

    Artist Assistant

    Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

    I assisted a teaching artist for a year-long school outreach program by the Guggenheim Museum, New York.
