Tuesday, September 11, 2007

I work as curator, archivist, musician and writer and live in New York City.

For the most part I focus on special or traveling exhibitions, often as curator but also as a project coordinator, registrar and researcher. I began my curating career at the Museum of Jewish Heritage, where I worked on Ours to Fight For: American Jews in the Second World War, which was honored by the American Association of Museums as the best exhibit of the year in 2003. Since then I have created exhibitions with the Museum of Jewish Heritage, Museum of Chinese in the Americas, American History Workshop, St. Thomas University and the American Sephardi Federation.

I am also a state-certified archivist, and have expertise in archival planning, archival processing, records management and Encoded Archival Description. In a grant-funded position I created the archive for the Museo Judio de Sosua, Dominican Republic, and I have helped formulate the archive of the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. Other archival clients include the New York Public Library and New-York Historical Society.

When not working on exhibitions and archives I also lecture, write and tutor. The web-based curriculum I developed on John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry is currently being used by the National Park Service and my writing has appeared in several Yeshiva University publications. I am also a songwriter, and front a New York City rock band called Studio E.

I am a graduate of The George Washington University and received my Masters in History and Advanced Certificate of Archival Management from New York University. Originally I am from White Plains, New York.

New York Public Library, Barbara Goldsmith Collection

Private archivist appointed by the New York Public Library for Barbara Goldsmith, noted author, historian, writer and philanthropist. Work with the Library and Ms. Goldsmith to prepare her manuscripts and career work for transfer to the New York Public Library, and archival work on her personal collection as well.

Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame

Worked with the New York-based curator of the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame to build the basis of the future Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame Archive and Library. For one year we collected, appraised, catalogued and assessed preservation needs of material from musicians, record executives, recording studios and rock journalists in the New York area.

Department of Communications and Public Affairs, Yeshiva University

Developed an archival and records management plan for Yeshiva University's Department of Communications and Public Affairs. This department holds Yeshiva publications dating back to the 1930's; my work enabled them to be used for research, reference and as inspiration.

Museo Judio de Sosua Archives

Created the archive of the Museo Judio de Sosua in Sosua, Dominican Republic. This museum holds a deteriorating collection of documents related to Jewish presence in the DR, a collection that had not been looked at for close to 60 years. Through grant funding I was sent to preserve, organize and save these documents.

New-York Historical Society Prints, Photographs & Architectural Collections

Processed the John Albok Collection for the New-York Historical Society. Albok photographed street scenes in Manhattan for over 50 years, but his beautiful work had never been accessible at NYHS before I create the finding aid. You can view the finished finding aid here.

...TO EVERYONE WHO CAME TO THE JUNE 21 CONCERT IN FATHER FAGAN PARK

For those who could not make it, I performed in Father Fagan Park as part of the Make Music NY festival in June. A large thank you to all who came and special thanks to Ellie Forseter for singing a few songs as well.

Researcher Lincoln and New York 2008, American History Workshop Exhibit opens Fall 2009 at New-York Historical Society This upcoming exhibit explores in depth for the first time President Lincoln's connections to New York City: its role in his election, his dependency on the city during the Civil War, and the virulent anti-Lincoln forces in New York that he contended with through the rebellion.

Project Registrar Have You Eaten Yet? The Chinese Restaurant in America 2006, Museum of Chinese in the Americas, New York Built largely from the menu and ephemera collection of Harley Spiller, this exhibit traced the evolution of the Chinese restaurant in America and what representations of Chinese in the food industry revealed about contemporary attitudes towards Chinese-Americans.

Assistant Curator Ours to Fight For: American Jews in the Second World War 2002-2005, Museum of Jewish Heritage, New York *Awarded Grand Prize for Excellence in Exhibitions from American Association of Museums The award-winning exhibition "Ours to Fight For" was a groundbreaking exhibition in both approach and design.
