I am an Americanist by training and specialize in the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. My fields of specialization also include History of Medicine, Science and Technology
My research interests are 18th century medicine, physick and herbal gardens, North American Roman Catholic women leaders and all things Celtic, Gaelic and Irish.

For fun, I love to travel (real world and virtual), kayaking, read mysteries and historical novels, visit museums, historic sites and old cemeteries, and enjoy the company of family and friends. I always find time to play with my King Charles Cavalier Spaniel.
