Biographical Sketch

I have been the Coordinator of Special Collections in the ULM Library since 2017.  I began working in the ULM Library in 2002.  I earned my MSLS at the University of North Texas Denton in 2008 and my MS in History from this university in 2014. 

Research Interests

I am interested in historical research, with a focus on the social and cultural norms of the different times periods.  Regarding these norms, I have a particular interest in the social environment created by people groups during the Hitler era of Nazi Germany as well as the slavery and segregation periods in America.  Another area of interest is the John F. Kennedy assassination and its effects on the following decades.
