I am currently an adjunct professor of Classics and a PhD candidate in Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology. I have experience teaching both in the classroom and on archaeological excavations, both large groups and one-on-one instruction. I enjoy teaching because I am passionate about ancient history and how the lessons from antiquity resonate in today's world.

I have extensive experience working on archaeological excavations, in museums, and laboratories. I am adept at connecting the dots for students between ancient societies through modern analogies.

I have worked in museum collections both in the US and in Greece, and have excavated in Greece and the United Arab Emirates. My focus is not only on the style of art and architecture, but also their physical and social contexts.

I am happy to work with students to develop flexible lesson plans that respond to their interests and needs. I have many resources available to students and adapt to students' shifting interests as they develop their knowledge base and analytical skills. I look forward to sharing my stories about dead civilizations, undeciphered scripts, and tales of digging up skeletons!
