I graduated from South Pointe High School, located in Rock Hill, South Carolina, in 2014. I received my BA in History from Winthrop University in 2018 and went on to complete my MA in History at College of Charleston in 2020.

This is my first year teaching Social Studies here at Marion High School. I am excited for the 2022-2023 school year!

My personal areas of research mainly focus on sociocultural history in the modern and contemporary periods in both Africa and Latin America, specifically regarding tourism, sustainability, and the management of ecological spaces. 

In my free time I enjoy cooking, gardening, and exploring graphic design and photoshop. I also enjoy photography and fashion. I am an avid fan of long-form video essays (both academic and hobby), non-fiction books, and community engagement.
