Biography
I have two Master's degrees, one in History and one in Political Science. My interests
include a wide-range of themes and periods in American, European, and World history
with some focus on social, political, intellectual, and medical history.
I currently teach American History 1301 and 1302, World Civilizations I, American
Government, and Texas Politics. Additionally, I am a co-faculty advisor for the History
Club (Webb Historical Society).
Some of my favorite periods in American history are the Civil War, World War II, and
the Civil Rights Movements. As far as the study of history goes, I tend to agree
with this statement made by Frederick Jackson Turner, “Each age tries to form its
own conception of the past. Each age writes the history of the past anew with reference
to the conditions uppermost in its own time."
When I am not teaching, reading, or writing, I enjoy spending my time outside walking
in some of our beautiful local parks and traveling. I also love sports, especially
baseball and soccer. I try to lead an active lifestyle, so sitting behind a desk
all day is not my idea of fun!
