About Me

I am the communications manager for the American Historical Association (AHA). I manage communications for the AHA, including its social media platforms, press and media relations, and the AHA website. I coordinate the AHA’s Teaching History with Integrity initiative, which provides resources and support for history educators facing intensifying controversies about the teaching of the American past. I also direct the Mapping the Landscape of US History Education initiative.

I previously served as vice president at the Atomic Heritage Foundation, where I managed its oral history project and other digital projects, and as a communications consultant.

I have a BA in history from the University of Pennsylvania and an MA in history from the University of Virginia. My specialties include the history of World War II and the Holocaust.
