Research Assistance
If you’re busy scholar, you know how challenging it can be to manage all the little details that go into making research happen. Let me help by taking any or all of the following off your plate:
file organization and storage
citation management
data visualization
trips to the archives (greater Los Angeles area only)
My rates for research assistance vary depending on the type of project and the scope of work you need . Please contact me using the form at the bottom of this page to discuss the scope of work you need done and your budget.

Pricing varies based on number of participants, expected duration, lead time, and venue. Please use the form below to contact me so we can discuss your needs.
I routinely consult on creative projects in the film and television industry. Drawing on my experience as a researcher, historian, and musicologist, I am passionate about helping creatives get the details right without getting bogged down in the weeds of academic writing and data sets.
Whether you’re looking for a crash course on a niche historical topic, an easy-to-read report on current events, a slide deck chock full of old photos or maps, or just someone to fact-check your adaptation of the Canterbury Tales, an enthusiastic researcher with plenty of experience breaking down complex ideas for non-experts (hey, that’s me!) can help.
