Professional Profile
I am a fifth year Ph.D. candidate at Mississippi State University, expected to graduate in the spring of 2026, with a focus on environmental history. My current research examines the role of beauty and bureaucracy in the creation of urban public parks in Chicago at the turn of the twentieth century. My previous research includes urban gardens, invasive ornamental plants, and the urban environment.
