Julia Fielding, New Executive Director, Atlas Coal Mine
Meet the new Executive Director of The Atlas Coal Mine.
Julia Fielding started work at the Atlas Monday, after arriving with her family from Ontario on Sunday.
Fielding comes from Clarington Museums, a community museum located in Bowmanville, which is about half-an-hour east of Toronto.
Fielding describes the change as moving from working with the largest collection of Canadian dolls in Canada to working with big coal mining equipment.
The Atlas recruitment website caught her eye - she thinks they did an amazing job, especially with the pride displayed in the stories they told and of having a clear vision of where they wanted to go.
Fielding has been in education all her life, and it was while working as the head of education at the National Railway Museum in York in the U.K. that she fell in love with museums, the treasures they hold, and the stories they tell.
