I am a mostly lifelong Philadelphian (fourth generation if you’re feeling technical), architectural historian, and preservation advocate focused on how historic preservation can advance equity in the built environment. With more than a decade of experience in public service, cultural programming, and community-based preservation, my work focuses on equitable preservation, sustainability, and public histories that center marginalized narratives, advancing inclusive approaches to urban heritage and storytelling. I bring a collaborative, community-centered approach to projects that connect people, place, and power in the city and beyond.

My advocacy work has been featured in NPR/WHYY, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Hidden City Philadelphia, and NBC10 Philadelphia. In my work as an architectural historian, I have lectured on my research for the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the Association for Preservation Technology. I currently serve on the board of RePoint Philadelphia and the Society of Architectural Historians’ Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Accessibility, and Sustainability (IDEAS) committee.
