I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Master of Arts in History from Eastern Washington University, and Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts in History from Washington State University. I have tutored students ranging from high school to college in history subjects in one on one structure. My approach is to always be patient and adaptable on an as-needed basis. I have experiences with team project leadership, research paper writing, archival research, conducting oral history, narrated PowerPoint presentations, and podcasting in the subject of history. My expertise is in early American history from the French & Indian War to the early republic era of the United States. I also have in-depth knowledge in political, British, Chinese, European, Latin American, and Ancient Roman history.

During undergraduate years, I did research and PowerPoint presentations on the evolution of military battle tactics from both land and sea through the transition from the pre-gunpowder era to the post-gunpowder era. My research papers includes the Opium Wars and women's contribution in aeronautics and NASA's space operations.

During graduate years, I created my first podcast on the history of my hometown and a digital catalog of Amelia Earhart and Katherine G. Johnson.
My research papers includes the road to the American Revolution through the French and Indian War with Britain's four acts, and the treatment of American prisoners of war during the American Revolution.
My historiography papers includes the focus of gender, market, and slavery during America's early republic, the Cuban Missile Crisis, and the legacies of race, identity, economy, politics, and religion from the Spanish rule in Spanish Colonial Americas.
