About

I am a historic preservation graduate student at Boston Architectural College. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in History from the University of Mississippi in 2014 and worked in medical admissions and credentialing for four years. I am currently an architectural historian technician for Stantec in Austin, Texas. My research interests include preservation policies for historical monuments, particularly Confederate statues across the South.
