Summary
I have worked in secondary education since graduating from Michigan State University in2015. While I have enjoyed my time as a classroom teacher, I am ready for a new challenge and work environment. I am looking to work in a collaborative space in which I can utilize my skills as both a historian and educator in a new capacity. I am highly motivated to be successful in all of my endeavors and am excited to pursue public history as a new course for my career, especially with a school that I respect as much as the University of Michigan.
