About Me

I am a graduate student of history and working on an original thesis project in Washington, D.C. Although my independent projects specialize in Civil War history, I have strong extracurricular interests in all forms of global history as well and feel just as comfortable tutoring World History as I do European and US History. In the past year, I have worked in battlefield preservation and have won research grants with the Virginia Center for Civil War Studies and a graduate essay contest through Pittsburg State University. I graduated from Clemson University with a degree in history in 2011 (and continue to root for my Tigers!). I am an avid reader and especially like crafting practice questions and other activities that help students understand the deep connections that run throughout human history. My Varsity Tutor students have been both beginners and advanced history students, and I have enjoyed working with all of them!
