I am a PhD candidate (ABD) in the Nautical Archaeology Program of the Department of Anthropology at Texas A&M University. I hold an M.A. in Public History from Duquesne University (2020) and a B.A. in History (2018). At Texas A&M, my research focuses on histories of maritime labor, globalization, racialization, and colonization, among the Kru in Liberia. In addition to coursework, I am working towards the graduate Africana Studies, Historic Preservation, and Conservation Training Certificates. My interests are in West African history, maritime archaeology and history of the Early Modern Atlantic World, heritage politics, archaeological conservation, migration and forced displacement, and public archaeology. I have consulted in archaeological conservation for museums, cultural resource management firms, and historic preservation organizations around the world. I was a 2018 NCAA DIII Scholar All-American in Swimming and am a PADI-certified rescue diver.
