I'm a digital archivist at the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIPP) in the Office of Strategic Initiatives at the Library of Congress and a doctoral student at GMU. I also teach American University's graduate seminar on digital history. I'm interested in online communities, digital history, video games and the history of science.
