I am an incoming Ph.D. student entering the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology at The University of Wisconsin-Madison. My undergraduate courses and research experience has helped me specialize in Antebellum US racial history and early 20th century Mexico. My research has previously focused on obstetrical medicine and reproductive sciences. These experiences culminated in my undergraduate thesis for which I traveled to Mexico City, ventured into archives for original sources, and made key interventions into the current historiography of obstetrical medicine and midwifery in Mexico.
