In the pursuit of academic excellence and real-world experience, these internships helped guide me to my interests in my future career.
Digital Archives Intern
International Women’s Baseball Center, 2019
Working with board member, Ryan Woodward, I began digitizing archives for accessible use for IWBC patrons. The main project was to identify the best way to share this information and to create best practices for the organization as it continued to grow.

Spending a summer in Prague, I worked with Stephanie Krueger in multiple projects to further patron excellence at the state-run library. Several projects were completed, including launching an assessment program to better understand space management.
ASB Intern
Smithsonian Museum of American History, 2018
For Alternative Spring Break, I spent a week in Washington, D.C. entering metadata for a photography collection, using Archive Space. The title of the project “Do You Want an Image with That?” led to the addition of over 1,000 items to the Smithsonian’s digital collection.
Project Archivst
Marshall University Special Collections, 2017
Building on a project started in the Spring of 2017, I wanted to go further in helping Special Collections in the findability of items.
