I am currently completing a Master’s in public history at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis. My thesis seeks to analyze memory and identity related to the Holocaust through second and third generation descendants of Holocaust survivors through oral histories. I am also the 2021-2022 Max Kade German American Center’s Graduate fellow.
Other areas of research include: museum education, genocide, gender, family history, and African American history.
