History
I am an interdisciplinary researcher working across history, archives, and public memory. My work examines how power, economy, and identity are documented and where they disappear, with particular attention to early American print culture, colonial legacies, and archival gaps.
Trained in English and history, I approach research as both analytical and interpretive, combining close reading, historical context, and narrative inquiry to surface connections between the past and contemporary questions of health, embodiment, and social life.
Research Interests
Cultural & Intellectual History
I examine the cultural frameworks through which societies understand themselves, tracing how ideas, values, and belief systems emerge, circulate, and endure over time.
Colonialism, Imperialism & Nationalism
My research explores the legacies of colonial and imperial systems, with attention to how economic power, governance, and nationalist ideologies continue to shape social structures and historical memory.
Archives, Print Culture & Public Memory
I am especially interested in early American newspapers, archival silences, and the politics of documentation — what is preserved, what is omitted, and how these absences inform historical understanding.
Public Writing & Editorial Experience
My background includes journalistic and editorial work across campus and community-based publications, where I developed skills in research-driven writing, editing, and content curation. I have contributed to outlets including The Daily Collegian, Holyoke Community College News, and The Rebirth News, covering topics such as student life, culture, social justice, and identity. I also served as an editor, supporting article development and editorial oversight.
