I currently hold a Bachelor's Degree in World History, and Women's Studies, with a minor in Anthropology from the University of Delaware, in Newark, Delaware. I am currently finishing up a Master's Degree in Secondary Social Studies Education from Wilmington University, in New Castle, Delaware. I am employed as an Assistant Director at the Iron Hill Museum in Newark, Delaware.
I hold many interests, and being of native heritage, my main topic of choice is First Nations/Native issues. This way, I am able to learn more about my people, as well as the history, culture and customs of other native nations. I am also dedicated to the history of women's rights, history, and struggles. There are so many untold or unknown stories in the world strictly because they are from the experiences of women. I hope to shed light on, and bring interest to the lives of women, both big and small. I am also a strong voice for education and religion. For me, these topics go hand in hand.
