I am a recent graduate of Northwestern University with a strong background in qualitative research and public history. My interests span intellectual history, immigration policy, antisemitism education, and human rights. My honors thesis on Mary Antin and the battle for unrestricted immigration took me across some of the country's most significant archives and taught me how to synthesize large bodies of primary and secondary material into coherent, original analyses. That same set of skills has carried across my other research work, from critiquing faculty book projects at Northwestern to conducting legal research. I am equally comfortable working across languages and databases, from JSTOR and HeinOnline to specialized resources like the Bar Ilan Responsa Project and RAMBI. I take research seriously as a craft, committed to projects that bring historical and humanistic thinking to bear on questions that matter now.
Completed an honors thesis on immigration, restrictionism, and Americanization in the early 20th century based on Mary Antin’s bestselling autobiography, The Promised Land.
