ABOUT

My interest in history has always come from a place dominated by objects and the spaces they fill. It led to exploration, a collection of trinkets, and continually asking myself how things got to be the way they are. They later expanded to wanting to know more about the craftspeople who made them and why they chose certain methodologies. My education introduced me to preservation through service learning and how to apply it.

After over a decade of experience in residential construction I have been fortunate enough to further persue my education in public history focusing on preservation and vernacular architecture. I have taken part in field and archival research, preservation reports, National Registry Nominations, tours, serving customers, and educating the public on historic sites.

I am currently working on a statement of significance for a progressive farm in Tennessee.
