Working with NHD

For over a decade, I’ve partnered with National History Day (NHD), supporting its mission through storytelling and media. NHD has transformed how history is taught for over 50 years, with its centerpiece being the National Contest, where nearly 3,000 students gather annually in College Park, Maryland.

Each year, I produce the theme video that introduces students to key resources and research pathways. During the contest, I film student interviews, create content for local and national media, and produce a high-energy sizzle reel for the Awards Ceremony. I also interview alumni—many now Pulitzer Prize-winning journalists, policymakers, authors, and educators—to highlight NHD’s long-term impact and legacy. My work helps bring NHD’s story to life and inspires the next generation of historians and changemakers.
