Researching Access, Description, and Community Memory

I am an MLIS candidate at Simmons University whose work sits at the intersection of archival description, digital preservation, and community‑centered access. My current interests include inclusive metadata practices, ethical discovery interfaces, and the long‑term stewardship of born‑digital and digitized collections. Methodologically, I bring a practitioner’s eye for workflow design together with research on how systems shape what—and who—can be found.
