I am a PhD student in Public History at Middle Tennessee State University, and this portfolio includes samples of projects and academic work I have created (and am still creating!). This portfolio is a work in progress, so please check back for updates, and feel free to contact me with questions or comments.

Also, my apologies if this comment is inappropriate to your professional blog. However, reading it has educated me on the AHA and embargoes, which I had no knowledge of previous to this article.
