First month in New York. Hola Met!

This past month has been probably one of the most intense and exciting ones of my life. I have moved from London to New York with a short stop in Madrid to see friends and family. I have just started to work as the first Digital Media Analyst at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Moving countries and starting a new job is always hectic: looking for an apartment, moving boxes, dealing with the Ikea furniture… So I can’t wait to settle in and start enjoying all the things New York has to offer.

My job at the Met consists of establishing and overseeing an Analytics program to monitor and assess departmental channels, platforms, and programs. These include metmuseum.org, email marketing, social media channelsmobile apps, audio guide, interactives, and educational multimedia, both online and in-gallery. It has been a really interesting first month, I met my new colleagues at the Museum and everyone is really nice but learning over 70 names of the people in my department and not getting lost in the building has been a challenge. Is such a huge place!

It seems that I have arrived at the perfect time now that the snow is gone and the spring is finally coming. I am making a list of the things people are recommending me to do like trying a Cronut (half croissant, half donut), have a dessert at the Chocolate Room, go up to the roof at the New Museum or visit the On Broadway interactive installation.

So, any recommendations are welcome!
