“The more I study history, the more the people and events of the past fascinate and inspire me. No one person has done more to inspire my life than the Marquis de Lafayette. The life he led was odd at the time but stood for modern-day ideals and I enjoy the opportunities I have to educate students about the Marquis and through my work with the Lafayette Alliance, educate professionals about him as well so that Lafayette’s story can be spread to all.”
