Biography
I am a researcher and writer. Over the past three years I've helped the State of Arizona digitize over a hundred thousand pages of historical newspapers and contributed content to Chronicling America, a national newspaper database hosted by the Library of Congress. I have a master’s in journalism from the University of California, Berkeley, and an additional master’s degree in library and information science from Pratt Institute. The boil down is that I can find things. I love working with historic newspapers and archival materials because it's the closest I can get to time travel. I also bring my research skills to film projects - both documentary and narrative. Most recently, I contributed research to Are You There God? It's Me Margaret, in-development.
