Biography

I was born in London, England and lived there until September 2007 when I came to Providence, Rhode Island as an undergraduate at Brown University. I intended to follow up my interest in the past through the study of art history, having identified a particular love of the architectural history of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The study of this period, however, involves so much more than the straightforward study of buildings, with one crucial factor being the numerous discoveries of ancient sites by travelers to Europe. This was my inroad to archaeology, a discipline that allows me to study the ancient sites first excavated a few centuries ago. It is a discipline that offers another way of looking at the past, and I have found that it complements my architectural history interests well. As my awareness of the discipline increases, I am discovering its increasing possibilities, and an increasing number of ways in which to study the eighteenth century architects and antiquarians, who in turn studied the ancient past and applied it to their contemporary culture.
