I am a Clinical Assistant Professor at the University of North Texas. I primarily teach United States History courses and am the Program Director of North Texas Now!, an interdisciplinary, project-based learning, dual-credit program. I received my Ph.D. in History and a certificate in Feminist Studies from the University of Connecticut in 2020.

My research focuses on the history of women, gender, sexuality, race, and capitalism. My current project, Diane di Prima: Selling the Poet in Postwar America, examines the life and work of the poet Diane di Prima in the postwar United States. This work traces how cultural producers navigated self-commodification, economic survival, identity, celebrity, and creativity amid the economic and cultural changes that transformed the United States after WWII. My second project, Credit for Women! Feminism and Capitalism in the Long 20th Century examines the relationship between feminism and capitalism, focusing on feminist credit unions, banks, and credit access.
