Hi, I’m a budding archivist and historian. Currently, I work at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in College Park, Maryland. Previously, I spent five years at Gallaudet University Archives in Washington, D.C., where I worked on the preservation and accessibility of materials documenting Gallaudet University, Deaf Art, Deaf History, Deaf Culture, Deaf Education, Deaf People, and Signed Languages.
Independently, I research Deaf History around the world, with a particular focus on Gallaudet University and the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area. I share my findings through giving talks and writing for publications.
Now at NARA, I’m expanding my horizons to encompass broader aspects of U.S. History, Archives, and Digital Humanities. To further enhance my skills, I’m currently taking various courses to earn certificates related to my scholarship.
