About me:

I am in first year graduate student at UCLA in the Department of Information Studies. My current focus is in Archival Studies with an emphasis in moving images. I someday hope to work as an archivist in either a film studio or museum.

I recently graduated from the University of Missouri in Columbia (MU) with a BA in history and a minor in geology. I grew up in San Diego and after six years in Missouri, I must say it is nice to be back in Southern California.

Experiences*:

• Internship at the Missouri State Museum under the Curator of Collections, Katherine Keil.
• Internship at the University of Missouri Archives where I helped work on a collection of documents and artifacts from the School of Journalism.

*Please see my resume for a more detailed work history.

Interesting Facts:
