about me

I am a paid employee of the University of Maryland Libraries supporting the National Digital Newspaper Program (NDNP). We are working to make historic newspapers digitized through NDNP more accessible to the public by engaging directly with Wikipedia. I use these holdings to improve articles on Wikipedia where directly relevant.

conflict of interest statement

When I am editing Wikipedia as part of my official professional duties, I strive to strictly abide by Wikipedia's accepted practices on conflicts of interest, neutrality, and notability. Because the University of Maryland Libraries educational mission is in line with Wikipedia's mission to disseminate knowledge freely, I will not make edits that I do not believe are in accordance with Wikipedia's practices and procedures. For example, I will not make substantive edits to articles related to the University of Maryland Libraries, the National Digital Newspaper Program, Chronicling America, or their personnel. Instead, any edits I make will aim to contribute subject matter expertise. This includes improving articles about University of Maryland Libraries holdings, particularly Maryland newspapers available through Chronicling America.

I earned my bachelor's degree at St. John's College, in Annapolis, Maryland. While my degree says "Liberal Arts", its about equivalent to a double major in Philosophy and History of Math and Science, with a double minor in Comparative Literature and Classical Studies.^[1]^[2] In December 2022, I graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park with a Master's of Library and Information Science. My specialization was in Archives and Digital Preservation.

Starting in 2023, I will be employed as a Processing Archivist at the United States Naval Institute in Annapolis, MD. During graduate school, I worked as a Digitization Projects Assistant at UMD Libraries and as a Photo Digitization Intern at the USNI.
