Have you ever gone after your dream job and actually got it? Well, Kaylee Jukich-Fish did. When the Montana native moved to Las Vegas in 2019 to attend UNLV to study criminal justice and couples and family therapy, she needed a job.
“Ever since I was a little kid I’ve always been fascinated with Titanic,” she says. “I used to leave sticky notes around the house for my dad to find with questions on them about Titanic. And it just kind of escalated from there.” Yes, her interest in the ill-fated tale became a lifelong passion, and there was only one place she wanted to work when she moved to town—at Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition at Luxor.
Jukich-Fish ended up landing the job and joined the exhibition as an artifact specialist in October of that year. “I get to answer questions people have about Titanic,” she says. “I get to explain some of the stories behind the artifacts, the stories about the passengers. I basically get to walk around and talk about my favorite thing.”
Some of her favorite things about the exhibition include the Departure Room, the very first room guests come upon. “It just feels really happy because you get to learn this grand idea that these people had about the most luxurious ship in the world and the three-year process it took to build, and you see the artifacts to build it,” Jukich-Fish explains. “It’s when everyone was happy and excited about it.”
And when we say Jukich-Fish knows her Titanic history, she knows her Titanic history. For her and the other artifact specialists—they call each other “Titaniacs”—the subject is a passion. So much so that Jukich-Fish started her own TikTok on all things Titanic (check it out at @kjfish with almost 50,000 subscribers).
“Titanic—it’s always been a part of my life and it always will be,” she says. “This is my passion, and this is my dream job.”
