Bio

I hold a PhD in European History from the University of Virginia and taught in the field for 7 years. I then did graduate coursework in Museum Studies at UNC-Greensboro, after which I held managerial positions at two historic sites, before teaching Museum Studies at the University of Mary Washington in Virginia. After that, I served as Education Curator for the El Paso Museum of Art for over 4 years before joining the faculty at UTEP.
