Career Journey Summary, Wooster to Fall 2024: I found my love of film at Wooster, and my I.S. work set me on the trajectory toward a Film Archiving M.A. I did project-based work in archives and libraries in London and New Orleans until I landed in my current position, where I preserve and provide access to moving image and recorded sound collections at America’s oldest and largest independent archives referencing the social and cultural importance of America’s ethnic and racial history, the African Diaspora, human relations, and civil rights.
