"I am currently advancing my studies as an American history scholar, working towards my PhD at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale. My dissertation focuses on exploring the intricate connections between medicine, addiction, and criminal justice. Previously, I earned both my MA and BA from Murray State University in American history, where my master's thesis delved into the interplay of economics and culture.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have amassed considerable experience as a private instructor, guiding students through the rigors of the Advanced Placement Exam. I've also contributed as a long-term substitute teacher in various public high schools.
