Biography:
I am a graduate student in the Early Modern Global field, specializing in the British Empire during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in the Caribbean. More specifically, I focus on how the environment affected military campaigns, and how armies manipulated environmental infrastructure to their advantage. In short, militarism and the environment were inextricably linked during the early modern period.
