I am a folklorist/historian, arts administrator, and cultural heritage specialist with experience in heritage tourism, history, field and archival research, oral history, museums, exhibits, festival and concert production, grant management, giving of technical assistance in the arts, and more. I have worked at arts councils, museums, nonprofits, universities, and have served as an elected leader in the American Folklore Society and the Folklore Society of Utah. My primary folkloric work has been with western American rural communities, including ranching and farming communities and Indian tribes. I enjoy helping people preserve and present their cultural heritage. I was the 2006 recipient of the American Folklore Society's Benjamin Botkin Prize for outstanding achievement in public folklore.
