Research Interests
For my academic and research interests, I’ve studied 19th-20th century U.S. Social History. Throughout my research experience, I’ve analyzed topics that took place in pre and post Civil War America, 1920s Texas, and post WWII America. These interests have shaped me to have an eye for social history, breaking down the experiences of your average day American and studying their lives in different points in history.
Why I Chose Baylor
I chose Baylor because this institution made me feel like history was an important subject. Baylor feels like the school that will aid me in becoming a very prestigious figure in the history world.
