As a historian, I have focused my research on the multi-cultural political environment in the 18th-century trans-Appalachian West. Specifically, I am interested in uncovering the political voices of 18th-century Native Americans as they negotiated their places within expanding North American empires.
In addition to working on completing my Ph.D. in History at Lehigh University, I assisted the department with developing and implementing their content strategy. I also teach courses on Native American cultures at Messiah University in Grantham, Pennsylvania.
Additionally, I formerly served as both the producer of the Way of Improvement Leads Home podcast—hosted by the award-winning historian John Fea—as well as the project manager for the Digital Harrisburg Initiative.
