I am a PhD student from Clarkstown, New York. I primarily study the early twentieth century, as well as rural and environmental history. In 2020, I graduated from the College of William and Mary with degrees in History and Economics, and in 2022, I graduated from Iowa State University with a master’s degree in history. My dissertation research focuses on the ways in which environmental conservation served as an arena for political conflict between rural and urban communities in early twentieth century New York.
