I am a current graduate student at the University of Oregon, pursuing a masters degree in history with a focus on the public memory and Black history in the U.S. West. My research also explores environmental history and public history. In addition to my M.A., I am also pursuing a certification in Museum Studies through the University of Oregon PPPM program. I recently graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in both history and art history from Portland State University Honors College. While there, I completed an honors history thesis titled, "Myths, Museums, Mothers, and the Power of Letitia Carson" (2023).
