About Us

As a federally qualified professional historian (36 CFR Part 61) with 30 years of experience, I have helped communities and clients uncover their history, advocate for meaningful preservation, and connect people with places important to them. I’m drawn to research that sheds light on overlooked stories or uncovers new angles on familiar topics because that’s where connection and curiosity thrive, adding layers to our understanding of a place or moment in time. 

With Athena Research Consultants, I guide preservation and research projects that document the past and highlight cultural heritage as an integral part of contemporary community planning. History should be inclusive, accessible, and community-driven. I dig deep into the past for the stories that reveal who we are, where we come from, and what’s worth preserving for the future. 

I will help you tell stories that deserve to be told with care, clarity, and purpose.
