With 25 years of experience, I have worked on large scale oral history projects of former U.S. Senators Ed Muskie and George Mitchell as well as smaller community projects documenting the lives and work of mill workers, brick makers and shoe workers. More recently, my work in South Carolina reaches into communities to support women's history, African American history and military veterans. My work has been recognized with 4 Elizabeth B. Mason awards and the Program Innovation Award from the South Carolina Archival Association.
