About
I received my BA in Anthropology, Classical Archaeology, and Polish from the University of Michigan (2021), and I completed my MA in Archaeology at Cornell University (2024). My master’s thesis explored sensory experience and memory through constructions of built space at Bronze Age Knossos.
My current research will focus on understanding resilience and innovation in relation to sociopolitical changes in the Bronze Age Aegean. I’m interested in how individuals perceived and responded to environmental change on a long-term scale. I have previously worked in collections management for NAGPRA and I have archaeological fieldwork experience in Greece, Italy, Cyprus, Kosovo, and the United States.
