The research and writing skills that historians develop in academia are necessary to produce innovative public-facing scholarship. During my graduate studies, I have utilized as many opportunities as I could to apply the methods of historical scholarship to museum exhibitions, collections management, public programming, and public-facing writing.

In December 2021, I published an article with Lady Science magazine: https://www.ladyscience.com/features/augmenting-the-maternal-breast-2021

I collaborated with the staff at Delaware Historical Society to work on research, label copy, and exhibit installation for "Collecting Wilmington: Place, Perspective, and Memory," on view now through 2022: https://dehistory.org/collections/exhibitions/collecting-wilmington-perspective-place-memory/
