About
I grew up in Warner Robins, Georgia, earned a B.A. at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain, and taught ESOL in rural Honduras and social studies in northwest Georgia before enrolling as a history Ph.D. student at the University of Georgia in Athens. Trained in American, environmental, and Latin American history, I am interested in the intersections of culture and agriculture, poverty and improvement, and land and landscape in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. My dissertation, "Everything is Peaches Down in Georgia," chronicles the rise of the Georgia peach as a major crop and a central symbol of the South's redevelopment following the Civil War.
