My work has received support from the New England Regional Fellowship Consortium, The Clements Library, The David Center for the American Revolution at the American Philosophical Society, the Winterthur Museum and Library, the John Carter Brown Library, and the Omohundro Institute-Fort Ticonderoga.

I love the process of bringing the stories of people from the past to people living today. My scholarly writing has appeared in The William & Mary Quarterly and a book review I authored is forthcoming in The American Historical Review. I have been featured on the podcast Revolution 250, and given numerous presentations of my work, both at scholarly conferences in the U.S. and Canada and in public-facing venues.

In addition to my writing and speaking, I am passionate about undergraduate education. I have taught undergraduate students at Princeton and Johns Hopkins Universities, where my teaching focussed on African American, Early American, military, Native American, political, and Revolutionary era American history, as well as college-level writing. In the classroom I engage students through a variety of primary sources and in-depth assignments, meeting students where they are in their educational journeys and helping them to take their learning to the next stage.

Besides my scholarship and teaching, I have worked as a maritime archaeology lab assistant, a bookseller, an artist’s assistant, and a tour guide on a replica canal-schooner.

I am at work on a book about the death of Jane McCrea.
