Biography

I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest of the United States. After graduating college with a Bachelor of Arts in History, I moved to Berlin in order to immerse myself in the local culture and language of Germany before going on to earn my MSt in History from the University of Cambridge. Now I am working on my DPhil here at Oxford, research German Dualism and the diplomatic histories of Austria and Prussia during the German unification period under Peter Wilson of All Souls College. This research should shed new light on not only the nature of the late Austro-Prussian rivalry, but also suggest new ways of thinking about the nature and longevity of the Concert of Europe in the mid-nineteenth century.
