- About me
I earned my BA degree in History in 2003 from Tarleton State University, located in Stephenville, Texas, about seventy miles southwest of Fort Worth. In 2006 I finished my thesis in pursuit of my MA degree in History at Tarleton. I am currently in the process of trying to get my thesis published by a university press. I have taught several sections of both US and world history at Tarleton as an adjunct professor since 2005. Since the fall of 2008 I have been a graduate instructor at the University of Texas at Arlington (UTA). At Tarleton I was a graduate assistant at the W. K. Gordon Center for Industrial History of Texas, a museum documenting the boom town turned ghost town of Thurber, Texas, where I learned many aspects of public history and how to work with archives and collections. In the fall of 2006, I started work on my PhD in Transatlantic History at the University of Texas at Arlington. I have been a contributing member to Phi Alpha Theta at both Tarleton and UTA. I have served as President and Vice President of the Transatlantic History Student Organization (THSO), a UTA graduate student organization. I have helped organize three THSO symposia with internationally known historians. During the spring 2008 semester, I completed my comprehensive exams, and in the fall 2008 semester my dissertation prospectus was approved by my dissertation committee.
