I am the Director of Fellowships and Interpretive Strategies of the African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund, the National Trust's multi-year, $70 million dollar initiative to identify, elevate and support the voices, stories and places of African American activism, achievement, and community. 

I was the 2014 National Trust Colodny Scholar and wrote my Master's thesis on “Ethnic Minority Heritage Values and U.S. Historic Preservation Significance Policy." I hold a BA from The George Washington University in History and Journalism and a MA from Goucher College in Historic Preservation. I was a Researcher for the White House Historical Association, where I served on the National Trust’s Diversity and Inclusion Group representing Decatur House. I have also helped the Greenbelt Museum and Historic House in Greenbelt, Maryland field inquiries and manage their website and social media. A DC native, I also serve on the Landmarks Committee of the DC Preservation League.​ I love to talk to the public about African American history, preservation, and marginalized cultural groups. ​​​​
