Hello
...and welcome to my online home! I graduated from the University of Alabama with master's degrees in Religious Studies and Library & Information Studies in May 2023. I am currently looking for professional opportunities in an academic library setting where I can work to support information access and literacy.
I have varied research interests, including religion’s relationship with popular culture and consumerism; collective memory and memorialization; and the ethics of information privacy in the digital age. My "thesish," which I am currently revising for submission, examines NFTs using Walter Benjamin's "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction" as a counterpoint to explore contemporary and persisting issues of authenticity and authority in the politics of art. I am originally from central New Jersey (which does exist!) and graduated from Hamilton College with a B.A. in Religious Studies in 2019. Prior to coming to the University of Alabama, I worked as a legal support professional at Goodwin, a Global 50 law firm. I also have experience as a freelance copyeditor, working primarily in religious studies and theology. In my free time, I enjoy baking, crossword puzzles, and intermittently trying to take up knitting. |
