Heidi first became interested in archives and history as a teenager when she researched her family history. She has a master’s in library and information science from the University of Texas-Austin and a Ph.D. in history from the University of Illinois. She worked as an archivist and librarian at the Amistad Research Center and the University of Virginia before returning to graduate school. She moved to North Carolina to write her dissertation and worked as an oral historian at the Marian Cheek Jackson Center for Saving & Making History in Chapel Hill. After leaving the Triangle for postdocs, she decided to move back and make North Carolina her permanent home. She loves hiking, camping, traveling, trying new coffee shops, and spending time with her family, including a new puppy named Luna.
