Professional Historical Researcher | Educator | Public Historian

Profile Summary

I have over a decade of experience in historical research, writing, and education, with a Master’s degree in Public History and a deep commitment to making history accessible, engaging, and accurate. My background includes ten years of teaching U.S. history at the secondary level, as well as extensive work in curriculum design, public programming, and archival research. As a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), I specialize in American history, particularly the Revolutionary War and Reconstruction eras. My work often centers on underrepresented narratives and primary source integration, and I’m experienced in creating compelling historical narratives, biographical sketches, and annotated timelines. Previous and ongoing projects include: Authoring a middle-grade historical fiction series that blends time travel with accurate depictions of key U.S. historical events. Developing STAAR-aligned educational materials and interactive review games for standardized history assessments. Creating AP-level content on Reconstruction, including document-based questions, primary source analysis, and thematic outlines. Producing video scripts and short-form digital content exploring major historical turning points (e.g., causes of WWI). Skills include: Archival and primary source research Narrative nonfiction and historical fiction writing Standards-aligned curriculum development (AP, STAAR, 5th-12th grade) Genealogical research and family history Educational video scriptwriting and public speaking Familiarity with digital tools for research and citation management (e.g., Zotero, JSTOR, NARA databases) I’m excited to take on freelance projects that involve in-depth historical research, content creation, or public-facing educational materials. Whether you're looking for help with a manuscript, need a historical consultant, or want engaging history content for your platform—I’d love to collaborate.
