B.A., University of Iowa (2006)
“The primary reason I decided to become a Jefferson Fellow was the tremendous opportunity of being part of organization that includes such a wide array of scholars, alumni, and University students with diverse interests, talents and perspectives. I really enjoy working with and exchanging ideas with all of the people I have met through the Jefferson Scholars Foundation and look forward to continued opportunities for connecting with many people and maintaining these connections throughout my career.”
“Visiting the University of Virginia, meeting the current Fellows and non-fellows alike, I felt that students are happy here; there is a spirit of cooperation and conviviality that I didn’t encounter at other schools.”
Research Interests: slavery and free people of color in colonial Brazil.
