| Introduction | I became a student of the Civil War in the 4th grade when I was first introduced to the topic. In 2007, I discovered women soldiers and have been researching them ever since. My first book, Behind the Rifle: Women Soldiers in Civil War Mississippi, was released by the University Press of Mississippi in 2019. I also give presentations on women soldiers, which I have done at national parks, round tables, historical societies, and reenactments all over the country. I received both a B.A. in history with a minor in mathematics and an M.Ed with emphases in history and mathematics from the University of Southern Mississippi. I am a mathematics instructor at Pearl River Community College. I love my job! In 2014, I was presented the Outstanding Humanities Instructor award by PRCC. I realize this is strange considering I teach math, but I am extremely honored and humbled. This award was bestowed upon me based solely on my work that I have done and presentations I have given on women soldiers. |
| Interests | I am a Southern Christian lady with a variety of interests and hobbies. I enjoy playing tennis, running, going to hockey games, and watching other sports on TV. My husband, Mark, and I love to travel. You can find us touring historical sites mostly, especially Civil War battlefields. I also like to read, listen to classic rock and country music, and fish. I love animals, especially my Dachshund, Max. |
