What I'm looking for

I’m looking for work in libraries, archives, museums, education, research, or administration where I can organize information, support public engagement, apply research and writing skills, and continue learning new systems and procedures.

I’ve conducted historical and ethnographic research at Colorado State University, producing a 20-page thesis on Olympias’ influence on Alexander the Great and an ethnographic film about a local garden center’s community history.

My research combines primary and secondary source evaluation, interviews, qualitative and quantitative analysis, documentation, and academic writing. I enjoy organizing complex information into accessible, evidence-based stories.

As a Bookseller at Barnes & Noble, I support customers, curate and organize the History section, maintain inventory, and use POS and BookMaster systems in a high-volume environment.

I also volunteer as a docent at the Global Village Museum of Arts and Cultures, where I engage visitors with exhibits and cultural materials. I’m drawn to libraries, archives, museums, education, research, and administrative work that makes information and history more accessible.
