3. The Bauhaus
4. Chinese art, particularly Ancient China, including Shang bronzes and jades, Qin Shihuangdi, calligraphy and landscape painting (ink painting)

6. My dissertation research is on Iron Age Gaul, and studies human bones, animal bones, and iron weapons and equipment from sanctuaries in northern Gaul (modern France and Belgium). My focus is on the sanctuary of Ribemont-sur-Ancre in the Iron Age (La Tène B/C and D periods, the 3rd c. B.C. – late 1st c. B.C.)
7. Medieval Arthurian Literature

Teaching

I've been teaching since 2010, first for two years at Northern Virginia Community College, then for another year and a half at Metro State and CCCOnline after moving to Denver in 2012. After teaching Greek Art and Archaeology at Metro State in the summer of 2013, I returned to graduate school to undertake my PhD. Now that I'm all-but-finished, I can return to doing what I love: teaching you!

Fieldwork

1. Member, British School at Athens, 2008
2. American excavations at Morgantina in Sicily, 2006 (under the auspices of the University of Virginia)
3. Joint British and Greek excavations at Olynthos outside Thessaloniki, Greece in 2014 (University of Liverpool and the local Ephoria)
