She leads Strategic Programs & Education at the National Women’s History Museum and serves as Honored Visiting Graduate Faculty for Teaching American History as well as a facilitator for the John Glenn College of Public Affairs’ Management Advancement for Public Service (MAPS).

Her research, ideas, and stories have appeared on NPR, the TED stage, the Smithsonian, the National Humanities Center, American University’s Women & Politics Institute, and the University of Notre Dame press.

She looks forward to her morning run, the Sunday paper, and the day women comprise (at least) 50% of the legislature.
She lives with her husband, two daughters, and canine-running partner in Columbus.
