What have you been doing since you’ve graduated?
Moved back to Baltimore!
How did your experience in the program shape your professional and personal life?
The students I befriended during my time at BU are some of the most vibrant, brilliant, and thoughtful scholars I have met in my academic career. I feel very lucky to call them my future colleagues and life-long friends.
What interactions with members of the Archaeology faculty did you value most during your time in the program?
I am privileged to have been supported by an excellent team of advisors who not only invested their time and energy into my academic success, but consistently inquired about my well-being beyond the classroom. Professors Catherine West, Mac Marston, and Wade Campbell constantly went above and beyond to ensure my academic achievement, working with me to find the path of greatest benefit, prosperity, and happiness for all. My warmest regards and thanks to them!
If you could give a piece of advice to your past self, what would it be?
Don’t rush! Don’t forget to enjoy studying while you are in school, and don’t be too eager to move on to the next thing.
