I am currently a PhD candidate in American history at the University of Delaware. I graduated magna cum laude with honors from the University of Arizona with a BA in history. I also hold an MA in history from the University of Maryland, College Park. I am currently an adjunct instructor at the University of Delaware where I teach World History I and II and the US History survey courses. I have previously taught World History as an adjunct instructor at Delaware County Community College. My own research interests focus on the Atlantic Word, the American Revolution, and the origins of the Early American Republic.
