I manage the marketing, media relations, and fundraising efforts of the AHA, working closely with the membership department and annual meeting staff. I received my Ph.D. in American history from Washington University in St. Louis in 2014. A born-and-raised Midwesterner, I began my study of history at Drake University, and prior to joining the AHA, I worked in the marketing department for National Business Institute, a leading provider of continuing legal education programs.
