About Me

I am a St. Louis native whose love for exploration and travel often brings me to new places, from England
to Indianapolis. With these experiences, my love for history has grown, with areas of focus being
American involvement in World War II, as well as 19th century St. Louis cultural geography around the
Civil War. As a future educator, I am a firm believer in having a strong sense of fairness, clear
communication, and thorough teamwork.
