About Me

I am a PhD student at the University of Arkansas. I received my Masters at the university of Tulsa under the direction of Dr. Brian Hosmer. My project concerned the interracial cooperation through midwifery of black, white, and indigenous women in Oklahoma. I have worked extensively with WPA materials, including photographs and narratives.
