I’m an educator, essayist, editor, and historian. I currently teach history and writing at St. Martin’s University, and I’m a writing coach through Uzzielli Writing Fundamentals. I have also educated students at the University of Pennsylvania and University of Texas at Austin. My writing and editing have supported the missions of the Smithsonian Institution, University of South Carolina, and Collegium Institute.

My own work has appeared in Arcadia, Notches, U.S. Intellectual History Blog, and other publications. I was longlisted for the VanderMey Nonfiction Prize at the former Ruminate magazine, and I was a finalist for the Penn Prize for Teaching by Graduate Students. My research has been supported by numerous funders, including the University of Pennsylvania, National Science Foundation, and University of Victoria.

My academic training includes American history, environmental history, history of science, gender studies, museum studies, and librarianship. I have presented before the Agricultural History Society, American Society for Environmental History, Joint Atlantic Seminar on the History of Biology, and National Council on Public History, among others.
