She obtained an MLIS as well as a Graduate Certificate in Archival Studies in 2018 and a Ph.D. in Information Studies in 2025 all from the School of Library and Information Studies at the University of Oklahoma. Her areas of interest are at the intersection of culture, technology, archives, information access, ethics, and representation, particularly around the use of technology for social, generational, and cultural perpetuation and transference. Evelyn is a 2016-2018 SAA Mosaic Program Fellow, a 2018 AAPB Public Broadcasting Preservation Fellow, an EASP Scholar, a 2024 DFCAS Graduate Research Fellow, a 2024-2025 Eugene Garfield Doctoral Dissertation Fellow, and a 2025 AAUW Fellow. Her dissertation research sought to gain a better understanding of archival recordkeeping infrastructure in an Indigenous context, examining where Indigenous and Western ontology, methodology, theory, and praxis is at play while also examining how Indigenous communities utilize technology in tandem with traditional ways of knowing for continued cultural perpetuation. Her recent work examines the literature around AI in a Tribal Context, seeking to identify how Tribal Nations are using AI as tools, while examining current uses, areas of major promise, gaps, potential risks, and ethical implications.
