She quickly realized her passion for archaeological fieldwork since childhood during summer’s spent at her grandparent’s farm in Ohio and her mother exposing her to a 6-week archeology-themed summer trip to Israel in 1978. She took a deep interest in Southeast Asia interacting with Asian family friends, colleagues, and faculty working in the Philippines.
