I teach courses on modern European history at SUNY Geneseo. My current course offerings in the Department of History include

- Readings in Modern European History (500-level graduate course)
I occasionally offer interdisciplinary courses such as
- Nostalgia (honors college seminar)
- Humanities (general education course)
- Punk Oral Histories (first-year writing seminar)
I also advise senior and honors theses, guide independent studies, and supervise research and teaching assistants. My students have consistently won prestigious fellowships such as the Fulbright, earned fully funded admission to top-tier graduate programs, and secured gainful employment.
I am the faculty advisor for Geneseo’s Omicron-Rho chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, the national history honors society. In this role, I prepare students to present and publish their research. In 2021, I organized the annual Western/Central New York Phi Alpha Theta conference which highlighted undergraduate research from seven regional institutions.
Before coming to Geneseo, I taught at Louisiana Tech University and the University of Tennessee – Knoxville.
