United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a passionate educator with a strong background in history, holding multiple advanced degrees in Early Modern and World History. My academic journey has been enriched by my thesis on Saladin, which reflects my deep interest in the intersections of culture and history. I have taught a variety of history courses at several institutions, including Central Oklahoma College and Oklahoma City Community College, where I strive to inspire students to appreciate the complexities of historical narratives.
In addition to my teaching experience, I have served as a Library Supervisor at Saint Louis University, where I managed library operations and supported students with technology-related issues. My commitment to education extends beyond the classroom, as I have actively participated in conferences and published works that contribute to the academic community. I am dedicated to fostering a collaborative learning environment and mentoring students in their academic pursuits.
