Bio Note:
Heather received her BA in History and BS in Education/Citizenship Education from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania in 2007. In 2008 she presented a paper at the Phi Alpha Theta Biennial Conference in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Titled “Nixon, the Press, and Watergate: How a Scandal Changed the Media’s Approach to the Presidency,” the paper focused on the President Nixon’s relationship with the media and how it altered future media – presidential relations. After graduation, Heather taught middle school Social Studies for one year before being hired by the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. For three years she worked as a Legislative Aide in a district office. June 2011 she accepted a position as a House of Representatives Regional Coordinator, overseeing multiple offices in the surrounding Philadelphia counties.
Currently working on her MA, Heather has begun the thesis writing process. Her thesis topic will analyze the 1983 United States involvement in Grenada, otherwise known as Operation Urgent Fury. Her thesis will examine the implementation methods, lack of communication, and the lack of “jointness” between the U.S. military branches to demonstrate how a small island could ultimately alter American Department of Defense policy and protocol leading to a more integrated military.
