About me

Introduction	A Magna cum Laude graduate of Amherst College with degrees in History and Black Studies, I was introduced to living history as a graduate student at the College of William and Mary. Working in the African American Programs department of Colonial Williamsburg, I interpreted the “Slave Quarters” at Carter’s Grove, led in-depth walking tours focusing on enslavement in colonial Virginia, managed and acted in museum theatre programs, and trained interpreters in African American history. In 1998, I came to Historic Hudson Valley in Sleepy Hollow, NY to help lead the reinterpretation of Philipsburg Manor, creating and implementing an entirely new interpretive plan for the historic site. The “reinterpretation” of Philipsburg introduces visitors to the institution of enslavement in the north and its effects on the economic and cultural development of colonial New York. I also write, produce, and direct museum theatre presentations for Historic Hudson Valley and other institutions.
