About Me

I am currently a second year graduate student at the Joukowsky Institute for Archaeology and the Ancient World at Brown University. Originally from Corcoran, Minnesota, I attended the University of Wisconsin-Madison where I studied Classics and Anthropology, receiving my B.A. in the Spring of 2007. I also spent the summer of 2006 in Greece as a member of a summer session with the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, and have done fieldwork in Portugal with the JIAAW's project at Tongobriga, and in Greece at the Athenian Agora and Lefkandi. I am primarily a student of Mediterranean Archaeology, specifically the Aegean and its trans-Mediterranean interactions, especially in the Bronze Age, but also diachronically. I am particularly interested in the various cultural exchanges that went on between the Aegean and other parts of the Mediterranean, and how these exchanges were used and interpreted both at home and abroad.
