I’m an oral historian, particularly interested in using oral history interviews to create audio and video documentaries for personal and public use. I got my undergraduate degree in Sociology from Harvard University where I focused my studies on first and second-generation (U.S.) Americans. I’ve also completed my master’s degree in Oral History at Columbia University, where I worked on my own audio and video documentaries, a sampling of which is available on this site. I conducted oral history interviews for the Brooklyn Historical Society’s Crossing Borders, Bridging Generations project.
