Education

University of Mississippi

Bachelor of Arts (Honors)

Sally McDonnell Barksdale Honors College

Majors: Philosophy, History, English

My academic work centered on the intersection of history, philosophy, rhetoric, and political thought, providing the interdisciplinary foundation that continues to inform my professional writing.

My honors thesis, On Narrative Approaches to Conspiracy Theory, examined how narrative structures shape political belief formation and public discourse.

Outside the classroom, I competed nationally with the Warren Debate Union, qualifying for U.S. National Championships in three consecutive years while developing the research, argumentation, and public speaking skills that continue to shape my work today.
