I am from Chicago and graduated from Eastern Illinois University with a B.S. degree in African American Studies and a M.A. in History from Roosevelt University and I am currently pursuing my M.S. at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science. My academic interests include Data Curation, Archival preservation, Digital Humanities and Special Collections.
