About

I am a historian of medicine in the United States, and an Assistant Professor of History at Towson University (beginning in August 2025).

I have written extensively on the history of women and/in medicine and the intersections of health care, technology, and politics in modern America.

I am currently working on two major book projects: one on investigations into birth control pill side effects in the 1960s and 1970s, and another rewriting the history of American medicine from the forgotten perspective of the doctor’s wife.

I received my B.A. from Sarah Lawrence College and my M.A., M.Phil., and Ph.D. from the Program in the History of Science and Medicine at Yale University.

A first-generation college student, I hail from Southwest Philly and Delco, PA.
