Additional Writing for the National Trust for Historic Preservation

In my last two posts, I shared links to the more involved stories I wrote for the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s magazine and website. That ended up being quite a lengthy endeavor, so I left out some of the smaller projects I did along the way. I figured I would scrapbook them all in one place right here.

Published Pieces about Mental Health

Although most of my academic and career work has been in the museum/public history world, psychology and mental health awareness are two other big passions of mine. While these worlds don’t often intersect, they really do complement each other well; understanding human psychology gives fresh, unique insights into the lives of people in the past. I think my interest in both fields is linked by a…

Print Stories for Preservation Magazine

It was an honor to write for Preservation magazine as part of my editorial internship with the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The editorial staff at the Trust is small but mighty and produces such a gorgeous publication. I’ve admired it for some time, so I’m proud to have been a part of helping create it.

For the Fall 2018 issue of the quarterly magazine, I wrote a piece on the truly…

I first saw a copy of this sculpture up at the @curriermuseum in New Hampshire and was absolutely transfixed by the power of the piece. I can't even put it into words. I barely noticed that the original was in my hometown. I just so happened to be reminded of this piece again recently while working on an article and went to visit...I got goosebumps walking into the memorial. You can read more at the link in the bio #shamelessplug but I have to say this sculpture really comes to mind today as I'm feeling pretty "frayed at the edges" emotionally -- anxious, overwhelmed, shy, stressed. Some days, the things you keep under control just bubble up to the surface, but I love this piece because of sense of protection for vulnerable souls that it communicates. She's serene and strong at first glance, but then you quickly see that there's flickers of a strain and a vulnerability there. Yet the closed eyes, defensive body language, and protective cloak remind me personally that you can take a step back from the world, regain your energy, and preserve yourself amidst internal and external chaos. I'm just word vomiting here, but the sculpture speaks for itself. #sculpture #art #saintgaudens #photography #anxiety #serenity #ofquietmoments #beautiful #realtalk #talkaboutit #allthefeels #dc #womenwriters #grief (at Rock Creek Cemetery)

#Todayinhistory: On August 8, 1864, some dude thought it would be a good idea to carve his initials into the wall of a government building. What's this historic graffiti doing on the walls of the National Portrait Gallery?
