About Ariane Mandel

I’m an educator, communicator, and organizer who thrives on helping people connect—with ideas, with one another, and with opportunities to learn and grow. My background bridges education, recruiting, and the arts, giving me a unique perspective on how people engage, whether in a classroom, museum, or office setting.I began my career in museum education, with internships and early roles at The Met, Whitney, and Tenement Museum—experiences that shaped my belief in the power of curiosity and storytelling. I went on to earn a master’s degree in Museum and Childhood Education from Bank Street College and spent over a decade as a teacher, designing creative learning experiences and managing classroom operations with care and precision.In more recent years, I’ve worked as a recruiter and administrative professional, developing strong communication, organization, and relationship-building skills. Whether supporting a team, coordinating logistics, or creating engaging programs, I bring empathy, adaptability, and humor to every role.I’m open to opportunities in museum education, training, community engagement, and administrative or program coordination—anywhere I can connect people and ideas in meaningful ways.
