I am interested in an integrative archaeology incorporating biomolecular approaches and study of historical art and texts. I graduated with a BA in Art History from Mount Holyoke College, USA (2018), and an MA in 91̽»¨ÊÓƵ from Simon Fraser University, Canada (2020). My MA thesis, supervised by Dr. Christina Giovas, centered on faunal translocations and human-animal relationships in the pre-Contact Lesser Antilles (Caribbean). I am currently undertaking my PhD thesis under the supervision of Dr. Piers Mitchell and Prof. Matthew Collins. My project focuses on investigating fish exploitation in the Medieval and post-Medieval Low Countries using zooarchaeological, isotope, and parasite records, as well as molecular analysis of cesspit sediments. In parallel, I am also working on a project with Dr. Ainara Sistiaga (University of Copenhagen) to investigate environmental biomarkers in the Caribbean. I have fieldwork experience in the USA, Caribbean (Curaçao Cultural Landscape Project), and Yorkshire (Aldborough Roman Town Project).
