I’ve always enjoyed making things, and first picked up knitting over a decade ago. That was followed soon after by learning to spin.

I’ve been involved to varying degrees with the living history community for a little less than a decade, and got my start in the mid- to late-18th century. I’ve since branched out to the late 19th century. Who knows what’s next.

I first got involved in archaeology in 2011, soon found my way into a graduate program. I’ve worked in CRM (cultural resource management) since 2014.
