- About Me
A St. Louis native, I have completed my master’s degree in American Studies and am currently working on my doctoral degree. My planned dissertation, “Lives Between Empires: Islanders, Agents, and Activists in the Transimperial Danish West Indies/U.S. Virgin Islands,” examines the transimperial experience of Virgin Islanders, mainlander imperial agents, and diasporic Islander-activists between 1917 and 1941 through case study biographies.
My broader research interests include transnational American religion, empire, and race in the Gilded Age and Progressive Era; immigration and migration history in the U.S. context; and the transimperial and imperial transition.
My most recent article was published in the Journal of Transnational American Studies in 2020.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts cum laude from Knox College in International Relations and Art History, and a Master of Arts with Distinction in American Studies from Saint Louis University. I advanced to candidacy with distinction in 2019 and am currently All-But-Dissertation.
I have presented nationally and internationally at conferences in St. Louis, Missouri; Santa Cruz, California; and in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Professionally I have worked as a newspaper reporter and editor, in the nonprofit sector as a grant writer, and in positions in research administration and communications in higher education.
