Intern

As a published historian and versatile writer, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to the forefront of content strategy and historical research. 

My journey in history began in high school with a transformative internship at Franklin D. Roosevelt's Little White House in Warm Springs. After earning my History degree from the University of Florida, I moved to the Hudson Valley to intern at the FDR Library. My passion for historical preservation led me to work with the National Park Service, where I completed a historical restoration at Eleanor Roosevelt's home and assisted with the Girls' Leadership Worldwide Program through the Eleanor Roosevelt Center.

Relocating to Southern California, I joined the Richard Nixon Foundation as a Development Associate and Research Assistant. While there, I curated an exhibit on First Lady Pat Nixon at USC’s Town and Gown. In 2017, I embarked on a successful freelancing career, collaborating with clients across industries such as real estate, fintech, AI, and the nonprofit sector. I've also assisted nonfiction writers with research and editing.

Throughout my career, I have been published in American Heritage Magazine, The Historians Magazine, and other notable historical outlets. My interviews include renowned figures like George Stevens Jr., founder of the American Film Institute, and music legends Mandy Barnett and Steve Buckingham. My work has even been showcased on podcasts where I discuss my career and the subjects I've written about.

I am excited to announce that I recently renewed my work writing articles for PBS American Masters. ✨ 

I am looking forward to sharing more stories throughout 2026 and continuing to explore the lives, legacies, and cultural impact of inimitable figures who have shaped American history. 

The work that American Masters does to preserve and elevate stories of both well-known figures and those who have been overlooked is deeply important. 

It is a true pleasure to collaborate with a team so committed to thoughtful storytelling, historical rigor, and public education.

More to come! 🎬

🎭 What can one nineteenth-century actor teach us about art, memory, and a nation in mourning?

In this episode of Say It With History, I talk with historian and author Elizabeth Reese about Edwin Booth, the older brother of John Wilkes Booth. We explore how Booth’s life and career became intertwined with the legacy of Lincoln’s assassination, the strange coincidences that linked the Booth and Lincoln families, and how theatre helped Americans begin to heal after tragedy.

New article for American Masters 📖

I am honored to share my latest piece on Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor whose writing transformed personal trauma into one of the most powerful moral voices of the twentieth century. The article examines five defining works, beginning with Night, that reveal how Wiesel bore witness to the Holocaust, wrestled with faith and memory, and warned against the dangers of silence and indifference.

I highly recommend watching the accompanying American Masters documentary Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire, which airs on PBS on January 27, 2026. It powerfully complements the article, and together they invite us to reflect on why Elie Wiesel’s testimony and his enduring call to remember the Holocaust and resist indifference still matters today.

🏛️ What does it mean to live alongside history, not as a subject of study, but as family?

In this episode of Say It With History, I speak with author Nina Roosevelt Gibson about her memoir Growing Up Roosevelt and what it was like to know Eleanor Roosevelt as “Grandmère.” Our conversation looks beyond public legacy to the daily practices that shaped Eleanor’s values, her attention to people without power, the importance of Val-Kill as a place of renewal, and the way compassion was woven into ordinary life.

Through personal memories and reflection, Nina reminds us that Eleanor Roosevelt’s influence was not only exercised on the world stage, but also through small, intentional acts that continue to offer lessons for how we live and lead today.

Theatre has long offered space for reflection—on our emotions, our lives, and the moments that shape history. As Elizabeth Reese shares, theatre is one of the most important art forms we have. In this episode of Say It With History, we explore not only Edwin Booth’s impact on the American stage, but what the theatre itself meant to him. 🎭
