M.Phil., Stony Brook University. M.A., University of Massachusetts-Boston. During my time at Stony Brook, I've specialized in both Modern German History and United States History, with interests in transatlantic feminism, social reform, and social work. My current project is a history of the travelers' aid movement in New York City, which eventually will be expanded to cover London and several German cities as well. I currently teach at SUNY College at Old Westbury and LaGuardia Community College (CUNY).
