Advancing social justice within the historical and archival record lies at the heart of my academic and professional pursuits. I am committed to developing platforms that inspire society to confront difficult and often obscured aspects of the past, while restoring dignity to marginalized histories. Whether through museum exhibits, digital projects, or archival work, I aim to foster greater understanding and inclusion. My experiences in public history and archival work have underscored the critical importance of presenting and preserving histories that truly reflect the diversity of American society. In graduate school and beyond, I aspire to deepen my expertise and contribute to this vital mission.
