Developing and delivering programs for and with learners of all ages, in-person and online

Looking for someone to:

  • Develop a walking tour near your site?
  • Create an interactive tour around your site?
  • Plan a program—whether in-person or online—to engage your visitors with your collections?
  • Find the right platform for your program?

Along with creating a host of interpretive resources, I bring a background in programming for learners of all ages, from kindergartners to senior citizens.

Ford’s Theatre Site History Projects

During my nearly 9 years at Ford’s Theatre, I collaborated with colleagues to augment research on the site’s history and repurpose that content into programs and resources for different audiences.

Remembering Lincoln Digital Collection & Programs

Ford’s Theatre Society hired me as project manager for a digital repository of responses to the Lincoln assassination, Remembering Lincoln. After the site’s launch in early 2015—in time for the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s assassination—I led efforts to augment the collection and repurpose the content to engage broad audiences in different ways.

Ford’s Theatre Distance Learning Programs

To relate the history we interpreted at Ford’s Theatre to the pandemic moment and questions around memorialization, I created two new distance learning offerings: Responding to Lincoln’s Assassination (created solely by me) and Ford’s Theatre After the Assassination (co-created with a colleague).

Visitor Research at Ford’s Theatre

Ford’s Theatre needed data on how visitors reacted to its exhibitions in order to make decisions about future interpretation. I managed two efforts to gather data.

JHSGW Alexandria Walking Tour

To accompany the Jewish Historical Society of Greater Washington’s Northern Virginia outreach efforts and a Civil War exhibition that traveled to Alexandria’s history museum, I created a walking tour of Jewish sites in Old Town Alexandria.
