I was born and raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia, received my B.A. from The Ohio State University, and moved to Kentucky for my graduate education. I completed my M.A. in history and have since taught courses at UK, Kentucky State, Berea College and EKU. I’m excited to be part of the Arts and Sciences advising team as the academic advisor for the departments of sociology and anthropology. Although much of my free time is taken up with research and writing, I enjoy camping, hiking, and play as much golf as possible.
