Personal Statement:

My studies and research focus on community oral histories, the relationship between film and history, public memory, community organizations, and making history accessible to the general public. 

For nearly two years I have been conducting research and interviews about Portland's Center for the Moving Image (CMI), Andries Deinum, Tom Taylor, and the greater Portland film community.
