Behind every name, date, or old photograph is a story. As a historian, my passion is to find those stories!

Extensive academic training in history has allowed me to build and perfect my research skills. I have a BA in History from Skidmore College and a MA in Early Modern History from King's College London. In 2023, I completed a certificate course in Genealogical Research through Boston University.

Professionally, I have done research for numerous historic sites and museums. Most recently, I served as the historian-in-residence and assistant curator for Marietta House Museum in Glenn Dale, Maryland, where I worked with a team to research free and enslaved families on a colonial plantation.

I work for private clients - individuals, families, and corporations, and institutions - to document their historical stories.
