FRESHMAN

YEAR:

FALL

I jumped at the chance to take Astronomy, to go back to Latin, and to (unknowingly!) suffer through History of Music.

FRESHMAN

YEAR:

spring

Next, I invested time into pursuing old interests like the weather and things that originated in Britain.

British Literature
Meteorology
Cultures of America
Latin II
Astronomy Lab

In the summer, I joined the seasonal education staff at my local zoo-- a choice that has echoed through my whole career, introducing me to informal education, interpretation, and working with living collections!

Let's Try Communications?

Public Speaking
Environmental Communication
Latin III
History 102
Intro to Communications

SOPHOMORE

YEAR:

FALL

Though I ultimately chose another program, I saw something that resonated with me in the Communications program. I knocked out my public speaking requirement, where I gave a speech on SSP programs, and took a seminar on Environmental Communications. I had started to find a direction, but not a major.

Why History?

History is part of everything. To study any field, you have to study its history; you have to know the foundation on which you're building.

I'm good at digging for information and making meaning out of scattered pieces. History is about asking questions and trying to assemble stories.

Once I had a major, I threw myself into classes about ancient Rome and medieval Europe, which would become recurring themes in my work.

The Roman World
American Literature
Devotions and Demons
Masterpieces of Ancient Rome
Latin IV

YEAR:

FALL

After another summer at the zoo, I explored Anthropology and kept a European focus, continuing to pursue medival topics as well as studying the century leading up to World War II, focused on Germany.

junior

YEAR:

spring

That spring was the most demanding semester of all. I covered essentials like Historical Methods and Art History, along with the Formation of Modern Africa, the Vietnam War, Greek Mythology, and a Medieval Culture course that let me write a term paper about bears.

Art History
Formation of Modern Africa
Historical Methods
Greek Mythology
U.S. and the Vietnam War
Medieval Culture

British Imperialism
Intro to Ancient Egypt
Culture of the Modern Period
Survey of Film and Culture

senior

YEAR:

FALL

After a 3rd summer working for the zoo, I got to explore a different part of the ancient world with a course on ancient Egypt as well as an extremely formative class on British Imperialism. I also got to spend time with more modern culture, including a class about film.

Europe and the ancient Greco-Roman world featured heavily in my course choices right up until the end. My only online course, Museums and Communities, was during this semester, which gave me just the slightest preview of what was coming next!

Museums and Communities
History of European Ideas

This page is a little bit indulgent, I know. Nobody cares this much about what I did in school!

One of my long-term subjects for MY students is Wix and I was figuring out a few features by building this page. I liked the result, so here it stays!
