I have a very exciting piece of career news today: I was named an Associate Fellow with the Royal Historical Society! I've been bouncing of the walls with excitement all day. I feel so proud to joining the ranks of some of my favorite historians. I don't think my childhood self would have ever believed this was possible. Thank you for celebrating with me!
