Background
About
Current Role
I'm a Library Specialist in Metadata at New Mexico State University, where I work on an NEH-funded archival digitization initiative — cleaning and standardizing metadata for six archival series using OpenRefine, uploading collections to Libsafe GO for digital preservation, and publishing them to open access through NMSU Libraries.
Career Arc
My background spans digital humanities, archival processing, and metadata work across academic and institutional settings — including roles at the Smithsonian's Archives of American Art, Penn State University Libraries, and George Mason University's Fenwick Library, where I built and documented Digital Humanities projects in Omeka and created LibGuides for the Digital Scholarship Lab.
