I graduated with an MA in Public History from UIS in 2019. I currently live in St. Louis, where I’m a Business Analyst III at Washington University in St. Louis.

I’ve been in my current position for over a year and a half. WashU is a large research university and recently went live with a new Finance and HR system called Workday. My position provides support for any grants-related issues/enhancements in Workday. Prior to this position, I was a Research Education Specialist at WashU.

I graduated from my master’s program at UIS in May 2022. I applied to a job in June in Grayslake, Illinois, and I accepted my position as Deputy Director of the Grayslake Heritage Center and Museum in July. My husband and I moved to a town called Lake Bluff nearby both our jobs.

I graduated in 2019 with a Master of Arts in Public History from UIS. I wrote my thesis on Abraham Lincoln (who else?) and his travels on the 8th Judicial Circuit. For the past 3 or so years, though, I've lived in my home state of Minnesota.
