My interest began with museum visits and history classes that made the ancient world feel immediate rather than distant. I became fascinated by the way a pottery fragment, building foundation, or handwritten record can answer questions that written histories sometimes leave open.
Since then, I have looked for opportunities to study ancient civilizations, document local historic places, and learn how museums care for objects. Archaeology brings together the questions I enjoy most: how people lived, what they valued, and how we can preserve their stories responsibly.
