Who I Am
Traveler
Travel is an amazing way to connect with other cultures. From Petra in Jordan to cliff dwellings in Colorado, I love visiting archaeological sites and having a personal encounter with the past.
Teacher
I have over a decade of experience in elementary and middle school teaching, exploring the intersection of language arts and social studies.
Archaeologist
History and archaeology are my first love. During my field season in Pompeii, Italy, I was part of a team working to excavate an entire insula (city block) to find out about the pre-eruption history of the city.
