University of Connecticut
Master of Arts in History
Advisors: Dr. Janet Watson, Dr. Charles Lansing
My focus in Graduate school was on European History of the First World War. My key piece of research during this time was on how the American press represented European, primarily German, usage of Submarines.
As a graduate student, I led discussion sections for classes on European History (Fall 2020 and Fall 2021), Global History (Spring 2021), and World War II (Spring 2022).
