I currently work as the 19th-century Women's History specialist in the LDS Church History Department. I earned my PhD from George Mason University in 2013 in American history. My dissertation is titled, "Doing Something Extraordinary: Mormon Women and the Creation of a Usable Past." I specialize in material culture, memory, digital history, American religious history, and cultural history. I have an MA in history and archival management from New York University in 2006. While in New York, I worked at the American Jewish Historical Society at the Center for Jewish Studies, the Gilder Lehrman Collection at the New-York Historical Society, the Brooklyn Museum of Art archive, and the New York 4th Universalist-Unitarian Church.
