      My work at The National WWII Museum included authoring original curriculum for K-12 classrooms, built upon national learning and history standards. I helped create an original box set curriculum kit, "Liberation & Legacy," that centered on the end and aftermath of WWII. I also organized and facilitated professional development workshops for teachers, running programs onsite at the museum, at destinations like Oahu, and also online. I wrote original history articles for the museum's website, helped grow institutional partnerships, and taught a new course for the museum's MA program in WWII Studies, offered in partnership with Arizona State University. I also hosted the museum's podcast, "To the Best of My Ability," writing six of the scripts for the two-season arc. Show less
