PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
Librarian-turned-digital archivist with 16 years of experience helping organizations find, trust, and actually use their content. I've spent my career building classification systems, catching errors before they spread, and writing the documentation nobody wants to write but everyone needs. It's unglamorous work, but it's what makes everything else run. At Feld Entertainment I managed digital assets for a large-scale live entertainment operation where accuracy isn't optional. I catch things others miss, I work independently without hand-holding, and I write instructions clear enough that people don't have to ask twice.
