She completed her B.A. in Anthropology at Dickinson College and earned her M.A.A. from the University of Maryland, College Park. Her past experiences include a teaching assistantship on a forensic aviation archaeology field school, interning at the National Museum of Health and Medicine, and interning at the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner.
