I help others access historical resources as the Head of Archives & Special Collections at North Central College. I delight in facilitating explorations and conversations about the stories found in records of the past.
Previously, I developed and managed educational programs for the National Archives and Records Administration, a Library of Congress grant-funded program, and the Wisconsin Historical Society. I was also a middle and high school social studies teacher and the archivist for the Chicago Cubs.
I earned a BA in Political Science from Knox College, MA in Education from the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor, MA in History from Loyola University Chicago, and MLIS with an archives concentration from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
