I am a public historian committed to making the past accessible and relevant through collaborative, community-centered projects. I earned a Master of Arts in History from Colorado State University in 2025, a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies from the University of Hull in 2023, and participated in an exchange program at Western Washington University in 2022. I have led research efforts, written substantial historical contexts, and contributed oral histories that illuminate regional memory and public planning. I enjoy presenting research in a variety of forums and building long-lasting relationships with municipalities, NGOs, and non-profit organizations to advance transregional collaboration. My work blends academic rigor with public-facing storytelling, including digital storymaps and multi-site histories, and I strive to mentor others while balancing academic commitments with hands-on research and outreach.
