My work is rooted in storytelling—in how we interpret the world around us through text, imagery, and objects.
Right now, I’m a Fellow at the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University. I was brought in to storyboard and create content for new visitor engagement initiatives.
Before this, I served as Manager of Marketing & Engagement at a nonprofit conservation center. I was responsible for the center's external content: communications, website, social media, public relations, and events.
I previously interned at the Rhode Island School of Design Museum of Art in the Ancient Art and Education departments. During the reinstallation of the Greek and Roman Galleries, I curated two cases of Ancient Greek coins, writing object labels and designing the display. I also wrote general wall text panels about ancient life.
My background is in English and archaeology. I hold a Master's degree in Medieval English from the University of Oxford, where I studied Old English and Old Norse literature. I wrote my dissertation on two Modern English translations of Beowulf, studying translation theory and assessing how the translations reflected the worlds of the authors.
As an undergraduate at Brown University, I concentrated in Archaeology and Classics. My studies in archaeology offered opportunities to explore how we interpret the world through material culture. My thesis in Classics compared depictions of druids in the writings of Caesar, Pliny, and Tacitus, interrogating what could—and could not—be learned from the Roman writers.
