I organized, created and entered structural and descriptive metadata covering some of the nation's oldest laws/collections into the database. As a priority project for the Library I completed the metadata for 6 collections of the Statutes at Large (over 26,000 rows of data), a contribution that will assist congress, lawyers, law students, researchers, and patrons all over the globe to have open access to the Library’s resources. I jumped in to contribute metadata for three volumes of the American State Papers preparing for digitization to help that project meet its deadline. In the capacity of a Creative Digital Publications intern I researched and wrote material for the Law Library's blog, In Custodia Legis, and edited peer blogs to prepare them for publication on the Library’s website.

As a Smithsonian Cultural Rescue Initiative intern I researched, gathered, cleaned, and submitted data pertaining to cultural heritage institutions across the nation. By preparing this data I contributed to the work of the Heritage Emergency National Task Force (HENTF), a part of FEMA, equipping them with the most up to date information to implement disaster recovery to cultural institutions that have suffered damage due to natural disasters. During my time there I coordinated, organized, and managed a team of interns to ensure work was completed timely and accurately. I planned the strategies for completion, regularly communicated with team members to clearly define expectations, as well as encourage them and made myself accessible to provide assistance.
