Greetings! I am a historical costume designer, mother of three kids in college, and wife to a husband whose career in video games has been moving us around the world lately. My husband and I moved here to Montreal, Canada six months ago after living in Paris, France for three years. I chose ASU for the history program, but also so my studies could move with me during this period of my husband's career. Of course, I hope we will return to Europe...
Twenty-five years ago, I started my history degree at the University of Washington, where I took History of the Ancient World, the Medieval World, the Modern World, and History of the Vikings. Then life and kids happened, but I still love studying cultural history and am excited to be picking it back up again academically. I started with ASU last semester when I took HST306, and really got a lot out of studying the US Civil War. My passion is medieval European history, but it is all interesting to me and I enjoy research. I belong to several historical costume societies in Europe and the US, and hope in the near future to begin contributing my own research for journal publication and conference presentations. I look forward to HST300 and 498 helping me make that transition.
