While research and writing is creative, rewarding, and a key interest, my first priority has always been the classroom and students. My goal for each course I teach is twofold: First, provide a valuable learning experience where students genuinely learn material in a comfortable environment. Second, I hope to inspire students to take more history courses, pique their interest, and perhaps, make a career of history.
