A little about myself

I am a public historian specializing in oral history project development and digital content curation, with experience in museum collections research and archival records management. My mission is to help history-focused organizations develop useful resources that increase access to the past, widening its interpretive scope to help build a more historically-engaged and informed public.

For over fifteen years, I have assisted museums, university libraries, and corporations in developing useful interpretations of the past, on their own terms and in collaboration with community stakeholders. From chairing oral history committees to developing online exhibitions with the Smithsonian Institution, to leading site visits and programming for the HBCU Radio Preservation Project, I have always adhered to an ethic of shared authority.
