Hey there, I’m Kaitlyn Weldon (she/her)! I am a communications specialist, freelance writer, and independent historian.
As a communications specialist, I have experience creating social media content, writing editorial content, filming videos, and more. As a freelance writer, I have wrote for brands like Ranker Weird History, DoYouRemember?, and The Remedial Herstory Project. As a historian, I specialize in American history – specifically women’s history and the American West in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries.
On my website and social media pages you will find history posts, book reviews, and museum adventures. My goal is to make history fun, relatable, and accessible to all!
