I am a historian and teacher. I currently teach history and civics to high school students in New Jersey. I am editor of New Jersey’s Natures: Environmental Histories of the Garden State published in 2026 and co-editor of American Energy Cinema published in 2023.  I earned my degrees in history at Ithaca College and Rutgers University.  My writing and research focuses on environmental and energy history and my manuscript project is an environmental history of Exxon titled The Good Polluter.
