Mullet Wrapper May 2018 Volume 16, Issue 5 Please Welcome our New Curator of Education! Meet Katy Menne! She is the new Curator of Education at the NC Maritime Museum at Southport. Growing up all over the world as part of a navy family, she calls San Diego, CA home. Katy has been living in Myrtle Beach, SC for the last year and a half. Prior to living in Myrtle Beach, she attended the University of South Carolina in Columbia, earning her B.A. in History and Masters in Teaching, specializing in middle and high school social studies. In her free time, she loves to go to the beach, attending sporting events, run, read and watch documentaries. Earlier this year she went snuba-ing off the coast of Grand Cayman s which has sparked her interest in becoming dive certified. I was truly blessed to grow up in the family I did. I was able to see so much of the world that most people only get to read about. I got to fall in love with history standing right where events occurred. said Katy. She has traveled on 4 continents and hopes to see South America and Australia soon. My favorite part of traveling is using the public transportation. Nothing makes you feel so accomplished than when you successfully use it in a foreign city. If you re in Southport, stop in and welcome our newest member of the crew!
