I graduated with honors in 2018 with a B.S. in History (emphasis in Public History) and a minor in Political Science from the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. My research interests are primarily underrepresented populations in American history. For the past two years, I have worked on expanding Hear, Here - an audio-documentary project that originated in downtown La Crosse, Wisconsin and is now in progress in London, Ontario. During my time with the project, I researched potential stories, conducted oral histories, edited interviews, and ran the phone lines behind the project. I have also been a part of two other public history programs, History Hunt and [art]ifact. While earning my undergraduate degree, I became particularly interested in approaching traditional historical narratives from different perspectives. Currently, I am pursuing an M.A. in Public History at the University of Western Ontario.
