Awarded to an exceptional fulltime graduate student in History.
PhD in History
I’m a historian, writer, and editor based in Central Virginia. Currently, I am a Ph.D. student in the history program at George Mason University. For the 2023–2024 academic year, I am working as a Graduate Research Assistant with the Center for Mason Legacies, an initiative of the University Libraries Digital Scholarship Center under the direction of Dr. George Oberle. Duties include creating metadata for historical documents and editing biographical data related to the Mason Family Manuscript Account Book.
I completed my BA in English and history at the College of William & Mary and my MA at Virginia Tech. Much of my background lies in public history; I worked at Historic Jamestowne, Jamestown Settlement, the American Civil War Museum, and Hanover Tavern Foundation before coming back to finish my training as a professional academic historian.
