Jackeline Lopez is a recent graduate from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) where she received a BA in Anthropology. As a second-year Mellon Fellow at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, she is being mentored in the Art of the Ancient Americas department and helping plan a multilingual public reading of the Florentine Codex to commemorate the upcoming 500th anniversary of the fall of Tenochtitlan. At UCLA, Jackeline wrote a thesis on concepts of human/animal interactions in Mesoamerican art for the Lemelson Anthropological Honors Program. Her goal is to use her positionality as a white Latina to help forefront Indigenous perspectives within the Western institutions she serves. As a nontraditional student, Jackeline is a recipient of the UCLA College Re-Entry Scholarship and was the first Santa Monica College student to be accepted to the Andrew W. Mellon Undergraduate Curatorial Fellowship.
