I am the Digital Humanities Librarian in the Computational Methods and Data department at Yale University Library. I work with librarians and academic departments to foster the use of digital humanities methods, such as data visualization, text mining, network analysis, and others. In my work, I promote digital and information literacy, reproducible research, and responsible data and visualization practices.
Prior to coming to Yale, I was the Digital Scholarship Strategist at Ball State University for five years. I completed my Ph.D. in History at George Mason University in 2023. From 2014 to 2015, I served as a Digital History Fellow, and from 2016 to 2019, I worked as a graduate research assistant at the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media. During my time there, I contributed to several projects, including Mapping Early American Elections, PressForward, and Mapping American Religious Ecologies.
My dissertation, titled The Convert to Zion: The Mormon Conversion Experience in the Nineteenth Century, focused on the conversion experience of Mormon laity across the nineteenth century.
