I’m an environmental and public historian of the American West. I specialize in 19th and 20th century Indigenous history, public lands, the Atomic West, and outdoor recreation. As a public historian I’ve has collaborated with Native American Tribes, National Park Service, Department of Energy, USDA Forest Service, and nonprofits. I have produced book-length research reports, treaty reports, ethnohistories, oral history collections, NRHP and NHL documentation, and geospatial humanities projects. ‘
In my academic and public history work I prioritize community voices through the collection of oral histories. I’ve conducted nearly 150 oral histories with tribal elders, Downwinders, politicians, scientists, federal land managers, and peace activists. I hold an MA in history from Brown University and a BA in history from the University of Texas at Austin. Currently I’m finishing my PhD in American history at the University of Utah.
