Hello! My name is Chelsea.
I’m a memory worker, learner, and slow writer living in Pittsburgh, PA.
I teach courses on archives and records management in the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Computing and Information, where I’m a Teaching Assistant Professor.
In addition to my teaching, I’m involved a number of projects. Broadly, my work is concerned with personal and community archives, arts-based practices in libraries and archives, and community engagement.
My work is driven by curiosity, by relationships, and sometimes by chance. In one way or another, all of my work is collaborative. Some if it is hard to represent in a traditional resume or CV. This website is an attempt at documenting my work more fully (though never completely).
My favorite thing to make is a gathering. My second favorite thing to make is a sweater. When I am not working, I am usually reading, knitting, gardening, exploring Pittsburgh on foot or bicycle, and spending time with my chihuahua and my three perfect cats.
