Pursued a degree to learn and make accessible coding and programming to a wide audience and continues to do so.
I am passionate about the accessibility and preservation of information and cultural artifacts and stories, both contemporary and historical.
I believe that by pairing technology with traditional museum, library, and archival sciences this can be achieved far greater than ever before.
My hope is that by ensuring access to such information for people regardless of their age, class, race, creed or education, or if it is in a museum to the latest app, we can learn to build a better tomorrow.
I earned my MLIS in 2022 from Simmons University in Boston, MA where I studied Information Science and Technology and it's application to improve information accessibility. I graduated with a Bachelors of the Arts in Anthropology and European Studies from William Smith College in Geneva, NY in 2016.
I have worked a variety of positions including:
- Collections Librarian in an educational institution helping with circulation, course reserves, reference questions, and collections development
- Makerspace Practioner and Attendant
- Technical writer and editor to online help documentation, including video tutorials, and click-thrus for software.
- Assistant Archivist in college and research libraries
- Internship program management
- Museum collection cataloging and care
- Curatorial Assistant
All of these work experiences lead me to realized there is a growing need in the museum, library, and archival realms to use, store, and display their records online.
