About Me


I am scholar, public historian, and Assistant Professor of History at Baruch College, City University of New York. You can find my full faculty profile here. 

Previously, I was
 a Bernard and Irene Schwartz Postdoctoral Fellow at the New-York Historical Society and The Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts at the New School. For three years before that, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor of American Studies at Trinity College, where I taught courses for both undergraduate and graduate students. I also worked as a secondary school history teacher for two years. 

​I received my Ph.D. in U.S. History from New York University in 2016, with additional support as a pre-doctoral fellow from the McNeil Center for Early American Studies at the University of Pennsylvania.
