Biography

I am a second-year PhD student with interests in modern British and European history, specifically in regard to the politics and ideas of European integration. My current MA project here at UVA is entitled "Forging a Neo-Fascist Union" and is an exploration of former British Fascist leader Oswald Mosley's idea of "Europe a Nation" in the late 1940s and early 1950s. Reimagining fascism through a European lens, I aim to shed light on the transnational extreme-right community which formed in the postwar years championing a vision of a united Europe informed by race, empire, and ideas of cultural unity. I am a 2025-2026 fellow of the Cold War Archives Research Institute through the University of Oxford. 

My previous work at the University of Oxford focused on intra-party debates over membership of the European Community within the British Labour Party. Prior to Oxford, I completed undergraduate degrees in History and Government and Politics at the University of Maryland, College Park where I concentrated my studies on Modern European History.
