Diving into History

I’ve written about the real-life Beauty and the Beast, 18th century wax models made from corpses, and surprising pirate traditions. Combined, those 3 articles reached over 9 million readers.

I cover history topics for Ranker, All That’s Interesting, and several higher education websites.

Storytelling Solutions

I know how to tell a story.

From reaching struggling college students to explaining complicated legal information, I provide storytelling solutions. 

My work covers a broad range, from why there's nitrogen in potato chip bags to the history of sexual orientation discrimination law.

Academic Scholarship

In addition to content writing, I published Worldly Consumers with the University of Chicago Press.

I’ve written multiple academic articles that appear in top historical journals. And I also earned tenure with a unanimous vote at every step of the process from an R1 university.
