A PhD Student of History studying Great Plains History, World History and Public History at North Dakota State University (NDSU), Fargo. In 2007 I received an MA History from the University of North Dakota (UND)-Grand Forks, and in 2002 a BA History from the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities. My UND masters thesis concerned Joseph Henry Taylor's late nineteenth-century acceptance and assertion of one Native American belief system on the northern Plains, specifically the transmigration of souls. Since 2002, I have worked in a variety of capacities as a historian, archaeologist, and historic preservationist in the Mid-West and Great Plains for and with NDSU, the State Historical Society of North Dakota, the State Historical Society of South Dakota, the Minnesota State Historical Society, the Montana State Historic Preservation Office, the Bureau of Land Management, Preservation North Dakota, the PaleoCultural Research Group, the North Dakota Department of Transportation, Metcalf Archaeology, Trefoil Cultural and Environmental Heritage, Kadrmas, Lee and Jackson, Ulteig Engineering, Basin Electric, Bismarck State College, and the Fort Abraham Lincoln Foundation.

I serve as a board member on the North Dakota Humanities Council (http://ndhumanities.org/)
