Nyoka Walters

Nyoka Walters, a 2025 Vision Scholar and Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School graduate, wants to ultimately pursue a master’s in museum studies with a specialization in digital media. For now, Nyoka is studying art history at Temple University. Her goal is to become a museum curator. Nyoka realized her passion for exploring culture and museum work through an internship with the Martha’s Vineyard Museum, where she learned about research, exhibit design, and archival documentation. She subsequently interned at Featherstone Center for the Arts, where she helped set up exhibits, arrange artwork and support artists, and at Mariposa, where she learned how to handle artifacts and create exhibits. Through these experiences, Nyoka learned how different spaces can change the way people experience art and history.
