Thanks for visiting! I am a lecturer in US History and hold a PhD in 19th c. U.S. History and Women's, Gender and Sexuality Studies from Penn State. My research interests include U.S. and African-American history; national identity and patriotism; sex and gender; white male privilege; historical fiction; and digital humanities, to name a few. I love teaching!
I am also the Chief Administration Officer at Citizen University, a nonprofit working to educate Americans on the importance of participatory citizenship, healthy community engagement and care for our neighbors. My role requires a combination of technological, organizational, financial, and human resources skills.
I play the piano and I love British crime dramas. Please visit the different areas of this site to learn more about my work. Sometimes I write some things.
