Greetings!

I am an Assistant Professor in Digital Curation at the School of Information & Library Science at UNC Chapel Hill, where I teach and conduct research on born-digital and digitized heritage artifacts.  My work considers the interpretive and epistemological contexts in which communities (humanities scholars, digital preservationists, K-12 educators, software curators) engage with digital primary sources, including legacy software, land transaction documents, archival photographs. Drawing on interdisciplinary approaches from information science, archival studies, practice theory, and social phenomenology, I examine how these materials are used in interpretive pursuits. Through this research, I aim to develop both theoretical insights and practical strategies that support the preservation and endurance of the cultural record.
