Rebecca Ortenberg
Content Strategist, Writer, Public Historian
​
Hi there. I'm Rebecca Ortenberg.
​
​As a content strategist and public historian with more than ten years of experience in museums, historic sites, and higher education institutions, I have dedicated myself to telling and promoting stories that educate, provoke action, and meet people where they are. I believe that the best organizations run on enthusiastic collaboration and good spreadsheets, that goals should always be defined before digital tools are identified, and that history has never been neutral.
​
Originally from Southern California, I have a B.A. in history and theater from Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon, and an M.A. in history museum studies from the Cooperstown Graduate Program in Cooperstown, New York. I currently reside in Philadelphia.
