The Academic Foundation
My passion for preservation began during my studies for a Bachelor of Arts in History at American Public University. I realized early on that history isn’t just found in textbooks—it’s held in the private collections, family photo albums, and cherished heirlooms found in our own homes.
Hands-On Institutional Training
To bridge the gap between history and practical preservation, I gained hands-on institutional training through a volunteer role at Stonehill College in Massachusetts. Under the guidance of their records department, I was trained in the delicate handling, cleaning, and cataloging of donated historical photographs and documents. This experience taught me the institutional standards for metadata (the "who, what, and where") that I use to organize your collections today.
The Specialist’s Eye
I don’t just count items; I process them with a historian’s care and a technician’s precision. My background allows me to see the "big picture" of a collection’s legacy while maintaining the granular detail required for a high-quality digital registry. Whether it is a rare NASCAR diecast or a century-old family portrait, I treat every asset with the same institutional respect I learned in the college archives.
Personal Mission
My goal is to provide you with absolute peace of mind. I combine my specialized archival training with meticulous digital organization to rescue neglected collections from dust and disarray. My mission is to meticulously clean, sort, and document your items—ensuring that every piece is accounted for, properly displayed, and easily found within your professional digital registry.
