Welcome Bonnie! Bonnie is one of our interns in the Historical Marker Program this summer. She received her B.A. in History from St. Edward’s University in 2006 and is currently working on her M.A. in Public History at Texas State University – San Marcos. She is originally from Austin, Texas. In her spare time Bonnie enjoys reading, running the trail at Town Lake, watching UT football and spending time with her husband, family, and English bulldog, Beryl.
Bonnie’s historical interests are in local and community history and historic preservation. She likes the historical marker program because it preserves the memory of past events, people, and places and instills pride in Texas communities. After graduation, Bonnie hopes to find a job that combines her interests in Central Texas history and preservation, as well as pursue public education opportunities in historic preservation.
