I am a scholar-practitioner who has worked extensively on issues of public memory, testimony, and intergenerational trauma within the framework of Cambodia, Poland, and Rwanda. My research focuses on the perceptions of time in relation to survivorship and intergenerational survivorship, as well as transitions of memory through time and space.

I am also a member of the Advisory Board for the International Association of Genocide Scholars and a consultant for Collaborative Social Change. Her current projects include developing curricula on the Bosnian Genocide, editing of her book The Continual Trauma of Survivorship: The Historical Complexities of Time Constructs in Relation to Holocaust Diaries, Memoirs, and Testimonies, and co-editing a volume entitled Genocide Studies: Through the Eyes of Intergenerational Survivors. I have previously conducted research on museology and worked in the conservation department at Memorial and Museum Auschwitz Birkenau.

I hold a PhD in History of Ideas with a concentration in Holocaust Studies from the University of Texas at Dallas. I have completed the Master of Arts in Cultural Anthropology with a concentration on museology at the University at Buffalo and earned her dual Bachelor of Arts in History and Government and Politics at Utica College of Syracuse University.
