Throughout my two years as a Mellon Fellow in the Digital Humanities, I gained valuable technical skills via training and hands-on experience.

The formal training took two forms: either a group training session led by a member of the University of Rochester's Digital Scholarship Lab, or an individual, online training in the form of the courses offered by Treehouse.

Additionally, I gained valuable skills working on two ongoing DH research project: the Seward Family Papers Project and the Televisual Time project (both housed at the University of Rochester).
