Summary
Third year Bachelor of Arts (Honours) student at the University of King's College studying English and History. I am passionate about the collection and preservation of global, diverse historiographies.
Having lived in both Canada and Europe, I aim to create comprehensive and collaborative approaches to the archival and museum space. Having previous intern experience as a digitization technician, I am interested in archival practices, cultural and art history, education and modern approaches to the museum.
