About
In 2006, I was granted a BA magna cum laude in Classical Archaeology with Highest Distinction in Classics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My thesis involved geochemical analysis of the bucchero from Poggio Colla. In 2008, I was granted an M.Phil. with Distinction in Classical Archaeology from the University of Oxford. I am currently in the third year of my D.Phil in Classical Archaeology at the University of Oxford. My thesis examines the ports of the Roman Mediterranean from a panoptic level in order to assess systems of trade and connectivity.
My initial field experience was at the Etruscan site of Poggio Colla, where I worked for two years as a student and then field and lab assistant. Since 2007, I have excavated at Villa Magna, an Imperial villa south of Rome and am currently responsible for the publication of the dolia and African Red Slip. In 2010, I began working at the site of Utica in Tunisia.
