Biographical Text
Claire Summa is a freshman at the University of Washington. She plans to major in Informatics and minor in Geography, and hopes to apply this to epidemiology and global health. She is from Gig Harbor, Washington. Claire loves to read, travel, and learn about other time periods and societies. This is her first year as a research intern on the Emma B. Andrews Diary Project. She has been a key team member completing transcriptions and historical research.
Claire has taken the 5-credit 'Introduction to Digital Humanities' course offered through the University of Washington's Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilization and taught by Project Director Sarah Ketchley.
Claire says, "I like working on the project because I've learned valuable new skills, and because I love viewing Emma herself as a character study. She was a fascinating woman; I learn something new about her, and the time she lived in, every time I open her diary. The preservation of history and sharing that history with others through digitization and/or curatorial work is something I have always been interested in, and I am lucky to be a part of it on this project."
