Currently Institutional Records Archivist for Boston Public Library’s Central Library Built Environment and an active member of the Anti-Eviction Mapping Project, she blends rigorous collections management with critical mapping and community-centered documentation of displacement. Her work spans emergency preparedness consulting, oral history workflows, digitization pipelines, and policy reform to protect and increase access to marginalized histories.
