I am a graduate student in The School of Information at the University of Texas at Austin. I worked for the Austin American-Statesman while finishing my bachelor’s degree in History and Anthropology at the University of Texas. As a graduate student I have volunteered at the Texas State Library and Archive Commission and am currently completing work for the Austin History Center. My education has primarily focused on archives and preservation, though I have also studied public libraries, grant writing, collection management, and audio reformatting.
