As a native of Blairsville, Georgia, I hold a Bachelor of Arts in History from Young Harris College and a Master of Arts in History from East Tennessee State University. A first year PhD student, I specialize in Early Modern Europe and the History of Medicine and Disease. Further, I examine the role of the Early Modern stomach and its ties to emotion and overall well-being in the seventeenth century.
