Bio
- Before coming to Rochester I was an undergraduate history student at the University of the Pacific in Stockton California studying history, anthropology, and gender studies
- I hope to work in public history with students and their families inspiring them to study history like I was inspired by public history projects in my childhood
- Growing up in California's Central Valley I was not exposed to the snow a lot so it is interesting and beautiful to see the snow in the morning
