Fun Facts

I once worked on a trail crew at Lake Clark National Park in Alaska.

About Me

I am a graduate of the University of South Alabama that's passionate about education for all ages. I particularly love history, and my core specializations are in East Asian history (particularly Meiji to early Showa Japan) and the early modern American South (antebellum through Reconstruction).

Experience

I received a B.A. in History in 2021, and I am extremely passionate about history, historiography, and research. That said, I also have experience as a tutor of various other subjects at the high school and college level, have spent time as a volunteer English teacher at a local non-profit (kids to elderly ESL speakers), and have years of environmental education experience through a partnership with a local non-profit as part of my past AmeriCorps service (kids to adults).

Approach

I find building healthy habits and a positive rapport builds the best foundation for future learning, and setting a foundation is the core of an effective educator. My goal is to teach directly, certainly, but also to embolden others to learn for themselves.
