Biography

I'm a second-year grad student at NDSU.  I hold a B.A. in music performance and history from Northern State University (Aberdeen, SD), graduating in 2002.  My first professional gig was serving as the administrative assistant for the Aberdeen Area Arts Council, a job I truly enjoyed.  Although arts may have been my first love, the life of a troubadour is not for me.  In the fall of 2005, I began my studies at NDSU, where I've been a graduate assistant at the ND Institute for Regional Studies and University Archives and a teaching assistant for Dr. Isern and Dr. Helgeland, which has kept me very busy.  My main research interests include the U.S./Western history, Great Plains history, and women's history.   This semester is particularly full, since I am finishing coursework, talking my comps, submitting my thesis prospectus, and even beginning my thesis research.
