I'm a professional historian, writer, teacher, long-distance hiker, and musician. I've held teaching posts at Averett University, the University of Miami, and Penn State University Erie and research positions at the London School of Economics and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona in Spain. I also do professional legal editing, proofreading, and transcription.
My research primarily focuses on Spanish and Soviet history. My book, Stalinism on Trial: Communism and Republican Justice in the Spanish Civil War (Liverpool University Press, 2025), looks at justice, political repression, and communism during the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939. The work draws on research conducted over the course of a decade in archives in Salamanca, Madrid, Barcelona, Vienna, London, and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
