I’m a graduate student currently working on an M.A. in History at Western Michigan University. I completed my undergraduate degree in History and Government & Politics at Millsaps College in 2023. As a student of History and Political Science, I pursue multidisciplinary studies which combine the techniques of both fields.
In the past few years, I’ve specialized in Late Antiquity, particularly studying the early Frankish Kingdom under Merovingian leadership, focusing roughly on the stretch from 500 – 650 CE. This has formed the topic for my main project at present, an M.A. thesis on the effective privatization of coercive force under Merovingian rule. I expect to complete this work in the spring of 2026.
