I'm a doctoral precandidate in the Interdepartmental Program in Classical Art and Archaeology (IPCAA) at the University of Michigan. My interests lie in the late second and early first millennium BCE central Mediterranean, and I am especially concerned with the role of cult-places in processes of state formation.
I am currently involved with the archaeological projects at Mt. Lykaion in Arkadia and Sant'Omobono in Rome.
