I am an archival and visual researcher for media including documentaries (TV and film), museum exhibits, and print publication. My research skills include film/video, audio, photo, television news, and newspapers. I have contacts at hundreds of archives, with a focus on US-based institutions. I also handle asset management systems and media licensing.
Before going into archival producing full-time, I worked on a number of documentaries as an associate producer and assistant editor, and earned an MFA in film/video production. My undergraduate work was in cultural history. With these well-rounded experiences I believe I bring a unique and valuable perspective to any team. Here are some nice things people have said about my work.
I regularly participate in industry networking and professional development, and am a member of several professional organizations. My IMDB is linked here.
