My research examines the intersections of military life, gender, sexuality, and state responsibility in the British Empire during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. I am particularly interested in how the experiences of soldiers and their families shaped — and were shaped by — broader social, cultural, and political forces.

I earned my Ph.D. in History from Florida State University, with a major field in Modern European history concentrating on Modern Britain and minor fields in Modern Russia, Modern Latin America, and Gender/Sexuality. I also hold an M.A. and B.A. in History from Lynchburg College (now the University of Lynchburg).

I currently serve as a Jr. Manuscript Editor for the Journal of Military History, the leading scholarly journal in the field, published by the Society for Military History.
