- About Me
I’m a historical consultant with Omnia History, a public history collaborative I co-founded with Rachel Boyle, Ph.D., in 2017, as well as the Executive Director of the Urban History Association. I’m also a former executive director of the South End Historical Society in Boston, MA. I study heritage and memory politics in the modern American metropolis, and I use my research to inform my public history work with historical societies and other cultural organizations.
