"My background blends museum work with teaching. I served as a guide and later director at museums that focused on issues ranging from environmental history to the Civil War and from the history of education to African-American social history. My experiences gave me the opportunity to work with college and high school classes, as well as to help individual students on projects.

I have a dual BA in History and Sociology, graduated summa cum laude. In grad school I served as a fellow and later executive committee member at the Contemporary History Institute, an academic center devoted to using History, Political Science, and Economics to help the public understand policy.

When I returned to school for my PhD I worked as a tutor and teaching assistant and later as a professor. My greatest experiences were seeing students find new ways to understand complex material and begin asking questions that went beyond their classwork.

Over the course of my career I have worked closely with students as a tutor, instructor, and museum director helping people interested in history find new ways of exploring the subject. I have always worked to help students understand important themes and trends while seeing how history connects directly to their own experiences and their communities.

I can tutor students in American History, World History, Social Studies, and European History. I would love to hear from you If you need help in History or Social Studies." less...
