I received my Ph.D. in Religion from Princeton University in 2010, where I studied religion in America, religious liberalism, gender, and the history of religious practices. You can see what I’ve written on this topic one my Writings page. From 2010-2012, I taught as an adjunct professor of religious studies and American history at a small liberal arts college. I also taught liberal religious history and polity at Starr King School for the Ministry.

Until early 2019, I coordinated a Mellon Foundation grant at Lake Forest College for the Digital Chicago: Unearthing History and Culture project from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. I managed all aspects of over twenty faculty online projects. I helped faculty Fellows focus their research projects and tailor them to the online environment, and handled all developmental editing and copy editing of all writing for the projects. During this project, I developed my coaching skills as I guided faculty through the process of their projects.

From 2011-2016, I served as the Director of the Harvard Square Library, a digital library of books, biographies, texts, and media about religious liberalism and Unitarian Universalism.
