WHO I AM
I am a curious historian, experienced researcher, and dedicated teacher. As a historian, I have published on U.S. foreign policy, the transnational Right, and U.S. interwar engagements with fascism. As a researcher, I have drawn on material from over seventy-five archives across sixteen countries and four continents, while also discovering and assisting in the relocation of privately-held collections. As a teacher, I have helped over 300 students in group, individual, virtual, and in-person settings to achieve their academic dreams through humanities, Concord Review, and John Locke Essay Competition tutoring. Please reach out to me at bg2572@columbia.edu for any questions.
