I am an eight-year Army veteran pursuing a PhD in European History under Professor Rafe Blaufarb. I earned my B.A. in Sociology at the University of Central Florida in 2005. From 2005 to 2013 I served in the United States Army, including one tour each in Iraq and Afghanistan. I will graduate with my M.A. in History from Florida State University in Fall of 2016 before continuing on to earn my PhD.

Major Field: Modern Europe

Minor Field: Early America, Middle East, Asia
