Based in the New York City office of Museum Programs, I am responsible for the design, development and implementation of Distance Learning educational programs for both students and educators.

I have presented on numerous historical topics including Native Communities in the United States, genealogy, research methods, and civics education. I also develop and curate the exhibit projects at the National Archives at New York City including multiple semi-permanent exhibits throughout the Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House, and serve as the point of contact for all New York exhibit materials. I contributed as part of a team that conceptualized and completed the NY Learning Center design and worked closely on the design and execution of the Welcome Center and Exhibit Gallery.
