In her work for the Scope, a grant-funded experimental digital magazine focused on neighborhood stories of justice, hope and resilience, Eileen distinguished herself both as managing editor and a regular contributor. She edited content, assigned stories, and was instrumental in building relationships with neighborhood media partners. Among her achievements, Eileen received a microgrant to lead a team of students to create an interactive map that documents Boston landmarks that have been or could be rebranded due to their namesakes’ associations with the legacy of slavery.
