I am a historian of Native America and Early America who specializes in women's history, families, and education. I arrived at Oklahoma State University in 2020 and have been finushing my book manuscript, The Education of Mary Peters: Stockbridge Mohican Women and Community Survivance in Early America, which will be published in The University of Nebraska Press's award-winning Indigenous Education series in Spring 2027. I teach and mentor at both the undergraduate and graduate level.

My research has taken me from small-town archives in rural New York to major institutions like the New York Historical Society, National Archives, and the Massachusetts Historical Society, among others. I have a deep appreciation for the archivists and people in various communities I've met along the way who have shown interest in my project and taught me much about their past and present. I especially want to thank the Stockbridge-Munsee Tribal Historic Preservation and Cultural Affairs departments for their assistance and collaboration over the years.
