I am a Senior Program Officer in the Office of Digital Humanities (http://www.neh.gov/odh/) at the National Endowment for the Humanities. In the Office of Digital Humanities, I coordinate the Institutes for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities program, and also work extensively with the Digital Humanities Start-Up Grants program and the Digging into Data Challenge (http://www.diggingintodata.org). Prior to joining ODH in 2007, I served in the NEH's Division of Research Programs and the Division of Education Programs. Before coming to the Endowment in 1994, I was a staff member at the Institute of Museum [and Library] Services. I received my B.A. in history and government from Claremont McKenna College in Claremont, California.
