As a School of Information MSIS student, I was required to complete a "capping" experience to my studies, which would allow me to combine my skills, knowledge, and passions into designing an independent project conducted at a local cultural heritage institution. Spending approximately 125 hours over the course of the Spring 2020 semester, I created and conducted a project for digitizing a selection of letters from the archives of the Elisabet Ney Museum in Austin, TX, culminating in a digital archive and several digital exhibits.

In addition to my work in libraries, archives, and museums, I also have a love of writing and design.

Includes a short piece I wrote about my experience sheltering-in-place in Austin, TX during Covid-19. The post contains many thoughts and impressions from people across the city as a way to connect to others in the digital sphere.
In the summer of 2018 I was a researcher for the City of Austin's Innovation Team (iTeam). To present the team's research regarding homelessness in Austin and Travis County, I led a team in designing this website that could provide insight into the work that still needs to be done to solve this human issue.
In the summer of 2019, I participated in the Steel Internship program at the National Baseball Hall of Fame & Museum as the Photo Archives Intern. This article was the result of research I conducted on a few of the photographs found in the collection I processed.
The result of a semester of curating & digitizing a selection of correspondence from the Elisabet Ney Museum's archives, this site is the repository of these digital images and subsequent exhibitions created around the letters within the collections. In all, there are approximately 85 digitized letters.
