B.A. History/B.S.B.A Political Science-- Florida State University, 2007. Cum Laude.

My research interests are extremely varied; while I primarily study African history, I also have the desire to study Irish history and the political dynamics of Irish-Americans in the late 19th and 20th century. The concepts of identity, political activism and nationalism are prevailing themes in my work, and because of this, I think of myself as having a more thematic, rather than geographic, research focus as a historian.

To date, my focus has been on the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa, more specifically examining the impacts of culture (ie: music) on grassroots political movements.
