Classical archaeology

I graduated from Boston University with a double major in Classical Civilizations and Archaeology. In 2013, I received a M.A. in Ancient History from University College London where I earned a Distinction on my thesis, The Role of Attendants in Ancient Greek Combat. I have worked on archaeological excavation and survey projects in Southern Italy and Greece. Since 2010, I have been working in various roles at the Mochlos Archaeological Project in East Crete. I was a site supervisor between 2013 and 2016, and continue to work with that project as a metals specialist.

I excavate the prehistoric site of Mycenae and the classical sanctuary of Nemea, both in Greece. As a specialist in ceramics, I work with material culture and involve many students in my research, here and abroad. Currently I am working on the earliest manifestations of Greek religious ritual through permanent architectural establishments and recognized paraphernalia - such as figurines.
