About

I got started in archaeology at a young age. For a kindergarten project where we were asked to write what we wanted to be when we grew up, I wrote “archaeologist” (though not spelled correctly, admittedly). I have always been fascinated by history but also love being outdoors and working with my hands.

I attended the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse where I fell in love with archaeology as a discipline. It was here that I discovered zooarchaeology and decided that studying animal bones was the research path I wanted to take.

After graduating with honors from UW-La Crosse in 2017, I began working for the Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center as their zooarchaeologist and field tech. In 2019, I began by graduate education at the University of Michigan.

I am currently conducting research at the site of Ek Tzul in coordination with the Belize Valley Archaeological Project in Cayo, Belize. The results of this research will be presented in my dissertation.
