History for the Public Interest

I have worked with different organizations to develop programming, articles, educational materials, and digital resources that highlight the importance of historical research and archival holdings for specialized and non-specialized users.

The Albert Lepage Center for History in the Public Interest

As Center Administrator of the Lepage Center, I researched, planned, and executed funded programs, workshops, and public events that reflect the Center’s mission of empowering the public with historical tools to examine contemporary issues.

The Public Historian

As Editorial Assistant for this important publication, I copy-edited upcoming articles, flagged errors based on journal citation guidelines, and managed the UCSB Public History Program social media.

Santa Barbara Mission Archive-Library

As an archival intern for the Mission, I helped sort and organize archival collections about Santa Barbara’s colonial past and supported fundraising events.

Historical Society of Pennsylvania

As an education intern, I created lesson plans on Philadelphia’s local history using the HSP’s archival holdings. These lesson plans include The Jewish History of Philadelphia, 2016and Immigration and Cultural Diversity in East Harlem, 2016.
