Ask me about... Boston in the American Revolution. It’s full of surprises!
|
My favorite thing about my job at the U is ... that I get to do so many things. I love being in the classroom, and I deeply value the opportunity to mentor students. I’m passionate about research and writing and am very grateful to the U for supporting my scholarship. I even enjoy doing administrative work, as long as it moves the History Department forward. The U has given me many opportunities to do interesting and valuable work!
