Experienced public historian passionate about connecting audiences to the past through public memory, family ties, and grief.

Human connection lies at the heart of my research. Even decisions made centuries ago, shaped by emotion, grief, and resilience, continue to hold meaning for us today.

I am driven by the stories of people who endured profound loss and found ways to persevere. These stories not only inform the past, but also help the present better understand the motivation behind major (and not so major) historical events.

Through tour development, interpretive planning, public programs, archival research, and publications, I aim to find an emotional connection to our shared history.

I hope these stories resonate with you as deeply as they have with me.
