In February 2023, I joined the Scholars Strategy Network as the Director of Development.

Previously, I earned my Ph.D. in History from Carnegie Mellon University in 2017, and spent five years working as an independent scholar, entrepreneur, and activist. I also served as co-editor of The Metropole, the blog of the Urban History Association.

Regardless of role, I take great pride in learning new, complex information quickly so that I can describe it to non-experts. And nothing brings me more joy than making connections between seemingly disparate topics.

When I am not buried in books, I can most often be found watching TV with my best decision ever, Kevin. 


Be regular and orderly in your life like a bourgeois, so that you may be violent and original in your work.
