I am passionate about helping students build confidence in history by connecting lessons to real stories and lived experiences. I believe that learning is most meaningful when students see how it relates to the world around them.

My background includes a B.A. in Anthropology with a minor in American Ethnic Studies from Wake Forest University. As a digital archaeologist, I contributed to a community-driven project in Africatown, Alabama, where I used mapping tools and oral history to preserve the memory of historic cemeteries within that community. This experience deepened my belief in the power of knowledge-sharing and inspired me to help students discover their own voice through the study of history and culture.

I tutor students from middle school through college in American History, Anthropology, and Archaeology, with a special passion for Anthropology because of its ability to reveal the connections between people, place, and story. My tutoring style is exploratory and discussion-based. I encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and the freedom to make connections across time and topics. My teaching experience comes from teaching community members during archaeology projects and tutoring student athletes during my time at Wake Forest.

Outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing videogames (my favorite is Skyrim), doing crafts, and spending time with my miniature dachshund, JuJu.

African American Studies

African American Studies

I have a BA in Anthropology, my research interests revolve around African American history and culture. I have done historical research, taken classes, and written on various aspects of African American history, from rebellion and Maroon Communities to organizing in the Civil Rights Movement and the importance of Black Pop Culture. Additionally, I minor in American Ethnic Studies, which focused on the history and stories of ethnic groups across the US, including but not limited to African Americans and other members of the diaspora.
Anthropology

Anthropology

I have a BA in Anthropology from Wake Forest University. My coursework and project experiences include the use of digital mapping softwares to understand human connections to the environment, utilizing participant observation, and writing anthropological analysis. I was part of a first of its kind community-based archaeological survey in Africatown, Alabama where we used digital systems to help community members preserve their local cemeteries and cultural/historical knowledge.
Archaeology

Archaeology

In addition to my BA in Anthropology, I have taken multiple courses in Archaeological theory and practice. I worked on an archaeological survey in cemetery for two years and presented on it at a conference. I have a hands-on experience with mapping software, measurement, and stakeholder engagement. A large majority of my time on that project was spent teaching volunteers about archaeological methods and best practices.
Religion

Religion

As a part of my American Ethnic Studies curriculum, I took multiple courses on religion. Because of this, I have foundational knowledge of African and Native American belief systems. Through my own historical research and coursework, I have also gained a deeper understanding of the way Religion is treated, discussed, and experienced across communities in the US.
United States History

United States History

I have always been deeply interested in all aspects of US history. I took AP US history in high school and continued to grow my knowledge throughout my undergraduate experience at Wake Forest University with course work on US politics, history, and even international relations. Additionally, I have maintained a deep understanding of US history as a means of providing historical context for anthropological and archaeological projects.
