I am a disabled film archivist and recently completed my PhD within York University\u2019s Communication & Culture program. My dissertation work focused on accessibility gaps in moving image archival education programs from the lived experience of students who self-identify as disabled, neurodivergent, or as having a chronic illness. I looked at accessible education from the perspective of the university institution, specific program, and archival space itself. Previous to graduating with my PhD I attended TMU\u2019s Film & Photography Preservation program and have worked on projects for TIFF, the CFMDC, Archive\/Counter-Archive, and York University. My publication history includes books, peer-reviewed journals, and trade magazines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am interested in knowledge mobilization and alternative forms of education. I currently host archival accessibility workshops that touch upon accessible programming, cataloging, metadata, accessible physical\/digital archival spaces, training, and equitable hiring practises. I have hosted these workshops with broadcast archives, government archives, conferences, and professional archival organizations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am also currently working on a couple of different projects. One role has me serving as an archival producer on an upcoming feature length documentary. I am also assisting as an advisor for upcoming projects for both Nordicity\/the Disability Screen Office as well as the Autistic Voices Oral History Project. I previously served as a mentor and mentor advisor for the AMIA Pathways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alongside film archives I have experience working at film festivals and arts organizations in Toronto. Examples include logistics\/box office management for TIFF and as a volunteer coordinator for the Luminato Arts Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reach out if you are interested in booking me for presentations, workshops, archival producer, project advisor, or if you have any questions on archival accessibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
