Hello!

I'm a writer, editor, and audio producer, currently pursuing a master’s degree in library and information science with an advanced certificate in archives at Queens College, where I’ve studied archival practice, museum studies, rare book and special collections reference, audiovisual collections management, and core library concepts.

I currently work at CUNY’s Office of Library Services as an associate archivist for curation and outreach as part of Cultivating Archives and Institutional Memory, a Mellon-funded project. There, I’m doing deep research into the archival holdings across 26 campuses and research centers to help increase awareness of and access to the materials.

I previously worked as a page at the NYPL Conservation Lab, supporting the team of conservators through procuring and maintaining lab supplies and equipment. I also just finished up two semesters of interning with the South Street Seaport Museum’s archives and special collections, processing, digitizing, and cataloging paper documents and 35mm color slides, and writing about collections for social media.

In my previous working career, I was a managing editor at Wonder Media Network (now part of Acast). I’ve also been working on a personal audio project, telling stories of loss. A small piece of that project was chosen as an On Air Fest Official Select in 2021.

I produced I Was Never There, an official Special Jury Mention for Best Audio Storytelling at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2022. And I was the story editor for Teaching Texas, which was nominated for an Ambie Award in 2022.
