Early life education

In 2007, she moved to Massachusetts to serve as the Director of Education and Interpretation at the Peabody Essex Museum.
Two years later, she moved to New York City after being hired as the Chairman of Education at the Metropolitan Museum of Art where she spent four years.[5]
Next, she served for a year as the Acting Director of the Morgan Library & Museum, also in New York City, and then the museum's Director of Collections.[5] As Director of Collections, she oversaw the museum's curatorial department, conservation department, and exhibition program.[3]
In late 2015, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum named Fogelman as their new director after an eight-month search.[4] Like the Morgan, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum also began as a private art collection.[3]
