Biography

I'm interested in heritage and museums, especially the way people design and use public spaces to create and engage in their community. My background is in archaeology, focusing on the Mediterranean world and material culture studies. For the past couple summers, I've been working on an excavation in the north of England at a Roman military fort called Binchester. My work there has looked at the cultural heritage landscape of the region, and how Binchester fits into this. When I can, I like to volunteer with outreach programs in museum and archaeology education. I'm passionate about using ethnographic research to design and implement human-centered museum spaces that build community and foster lifelong learning.
