About Christina De Clerck-Szilagyi
Christina De Clerck-Szilagyi grew up in Saginaw, Michigan, where she spent a lot of time reading. She spent her first two years of higher education at Delta College, where she decided to fulfill a childhood dream of becoming a paleontologist. To that end, she moved halfway across the country (much to the lament of her mother) to attend the University of Wyoming at Laramie. While there, she realized she preferred a more recent type of history (more recent than 100 million years, that is) and so earned a Bachelor of Arts in History with a minor in Geology. She then attended Central Michigan University for her Master of Arts in History. She is now (as she calls it) an “itinerant scholar,” teaching history as an adjunct professor across mid-Michigan.
