He began working in Special Collections at the University of Arkansas as an Honors College intern, serving as a manuscript processor. After graduation, he joined the University’s Special Collections full-time as an Assistant Archivist on a multi-year project of arranging and organizing the Papers of Senator Dale Bumpers.

In spring of 2020, Cody enrolled at the University of North Texas in the Master of Science-Library Science (MS-LS) program and anticipates graduating in summer of 2022.
