Living History
Social media images are a vital tool for reaching audiences and teaching history. At Claude Moore Colonial Farm, I developed content that connected visitors with the reality of daily life in the 18th century.

Slavery and Social Media
At George Washington’s Mount Vernon, I worked with others to highlight the enslaved people who lived there. In the absence of historical photos, I digitally combined the silhouettes with contemporary photographs. This technique removed a barrier to sharing the subject on social media and provided new, no-cost assets.
Historic Houses
At George Washington’s Mount Vernon, I created educational social media content about the day-to-day operations of the plantation estate in the 18th century.
Video for Social Media
This short social media video edit highlights moments from Alexandria Assembly’s 2025 Jane Austen Birthday Ball. This event featured live dance calling by the incomparable Corky Palmer. I combined event footage of the live music and dance caller to capture a brief glimpse of the ballroom’s atmosphere.
Mission-Based Organizations
Leading a faith-based or mission-driven non-profit organization presents unique challenges. There are usually not enough hours in the day to maintain a consistent social media presence.
I have worked with a variety of organizations, including the Quaker group Public Friends and the National Conference on Ministry to the Armed Forces.
I also created a 40-day digital Lenten pilgrimage for minister, author, and speaker Ruth Everhart.
