About Me

Program Manager @ Crossroads of the American Revolution National Heritage Area in Trenton, NJ.

M.A. in American History from Rutgers University Camden, 2019.

B.A. in History with concentrations in Women & Gender Studies and International Studies from Rowan University, 2017.

Interested in public history, archive, and museum work–I strive to make history accessible and enjoyable to those outside academic circles! Previous research projects include women and the Spiritualism movement in 19th c. America, painter John Singleton Copley’s life in colonial Boston, the Flying Saucer Age of the 1950s and the modern creation of UFO mythology in America, and the causes and consequences of British naval impressment in the American colonies.
