Over the course of this class, we will learn about some of the most horrible and mind-bending stories in history - tales that are so horrific, your mind will want to tell you that it is all just a bad dream. Let's go explore some of the most horrifying and confusing stories of the past.

For the past decade, I have been encouraging students through education and personal development to explore the challenges of the past. Through my own personal education and professional development, I create a safe environment for students to learn about challenging topics of the past. My undergraduate is in history, focusing on United States and European integration, past cultures, and empire. My first master's degree is in education with a focus on English/Language Arts and History. My second master's degree is in history with a focus on world empires and United States/Europe during the premodern era and modern era. I am currently pursuing my PhD in history focusing on immigration and relations with indigenous peoples and cultures.
