Personal Statement
My work is interdisciplinary, and the receptiveness to that approach at Penn is really exciting for me. My interest in historical research began with a project comparing a husband and wife's diaries when I was 18, and since then my interests have broadened through work at the Supreme Court, an archaeology dig, and jobs at art museums at the Smithsonian. I'm particularly interested in bringing anthropological theory into my research.
