I am a trained historian capable of serious scholarly research as well as popular and accessible writing. I am the author of several books, numerous essays, and articles on public affairs and current events. In addition, I am experienced in copywriting, proofreading, and transcription. From 2021-2022, I took the opportunity of the pandemic to finish up some research and write two books included that included a biography and intellectual history. Now I am returning to the job market and hoping to focus on copy-editing and writing.
