About

I am a technical project manager at the Modern Language Association. Previously, I was a Council on Library and Information Resources (CLIR) Postdoctoral Fellow at Emory University, a position that was shared between the Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives & Rare Book Library and the Emory Center for Digital Scholarship.

I am a member of the Journal for Interactive Technology & Pedagogy editorial collective and copyeditor on the Lateral editorial team. In addition to my work in digital scholarship and scholarly communication, I research networks of Black internationalist and antifascist writers in the 1930s.
