“Growing up I always loved mysteries and detective work, and I think history as a subject is very similar to that. You learn how to weigh and compare primary source voices and perspective with others’ research to find and create your own understanding of the past. I also love how history teaches perspective and empathy, and I love thinking about what motivates individuals and groups of people.”
