Education
BA and MA in History from Virginia Tech Additional course work at George Mason, Mary Washington, University of Hawaii, UVa, and William and Mary. Most of my course work has been in History and Education. I'm especially interested in a field known a Material Culture- What did people use in their daily lives? What do those things tell us about that society? I'm especially interested in food and textiles. Yes, I am a history geek!

Hobbies
I have too many hobbies! Many of them center on medieval reenactment- cooking, sewing, calligraphy and illumination, woodworking, embroidery... I also like to be outside-hiking, kayaking, and camping! We are so lucky to live near the James River and that we have such wonderful access to it. Getting out on the river and seeing the city from that perspective is so informative about our history.
