I am a recent graduate of the public history graduate program at Rutgers University. I currently serve as the digital media coordinator for the Mid-Atlantic Regional Center for the Humanities, where I wrangle bloggers and tackle our social media platforms.

In the last two years I've created an oral history database using StoriesMatter for the Salem County Historical Society, collected data on school group attendance for the education department at Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and I've digitized the Balch Institute Ethnic Images in Advertising Collection at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. I volunteer at the Alice Paul Institute in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey and the Digital Center at HSP.

In my spare time I am often silly and irreverent.

 

To Have and Have Not

I’m throwing this out into the museum ether here on tumblr.  In her blog post, Heidi Campbell-Shoaf discusses the disparity in grant monies available to historical institutions versus those available to arts institutions.  Any thoughts?
