About Me

I am a New York-based public historian, podcaster, writer, and editor. After receiving my BA and MA from Fordham University in history, I was a founding member of the podcast Footnoting History. Since its inception I have served as its Assistant Producer in addition to my hosting and social media duties. I am dedicated to the dissemination of scholarly history to the public through the mediums of podcasting, social media, and blogging.

My research specialties include Napoleonic France (with a focus on life during the First Empire and biographies of the members of the Bonaparte family) and Plantagenet England under Henry II and his sons.

I am also a trained performer and member of both SAG-AFTRA and AEA.
