This year’s Society for Military History conference has been an absolute joy. It’s so great to be around fellow historians and growing from different perspectives! Big thanks to @craigbrucesmith.bsky.social for leading such a great panel! #SMH2026

I am so very humbled by the veritable whirlwind of good fortune that has come my way since this past Fall, and I am happy to announce even more good fortune. I have officially accepted an offer to be an Assistant Professor of History Education at the University of West Georgia! I am so excited!

So proud to have written this for @ageofrevolutions.bsky.social

I write this as I am about to touch down for my first of two campus interviews for a tenure track job this month. A year ago I could not have dreamed of the wealth of positivity and good fortune that has come my way on the job market since earning my PhD in December. The future looks so very bright!

Today, technically yesterday, November 18, 2025. I passed my dissertation defense. I am #phdone !
