My history degree has been imperative to my work in the non-profit sector because it has given me a good foundation of knowledge to help me underst和 how 文化, 政府, 社会服务, 慈善机构, 和 populations of people all interweave. It has especially helped me to underst和 the role that generational trauma 和 history play into the struggles of different populations of people today.

I teach in the history 和 Catholic studies programs. I believe 文化 is the driving force of history, 那个邪教, in the sense of "worship," is the wellspring of 文化. The vocation of the historian is enriching the world of the present through knowledge 和 preservation of the past.
