I am a fifth year PhD student in Anthropology from Cleveland, Ohio. I received my BA in archaeology from the College of Wooster in Ohio in 2018. Following graduation, I worked in youth services at a public library, and then lived in Paraguay for two years before moving to Athens. 

I have worked in Italy, Greece, and Cyprus, and with my dissertation project I am transitioning into the Balkans where I will be doing my dissertation work in Bosnia and Serbia--a move I am excited about as a Serbian-American! My research interests include mortuary studies, collapse, and social complexity.
