Hello

...and welcome to my online home! I am a second-year graduate student, scheduled to complete master's degrees in Religion in Culture and Library & Information Studies this spring. I have varied research interests, including the intersection of religion and consumerism; discourses and practices surrounding death; and collective memory and memorialization of trauma. I am currently working on my "thesish," which uses NFTs to explore the relationship between ownership and authenticity in a neoliberal capitalist environment.

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 on academic texts in religious studies and theology. Upon completing my degrees, I hope to find a position in an academic library setting where I can work to facilitate information access and literacy.

In my free time, I enjoy baking, crossword puzzles, and intermittently trying to take up knitting.
