Over the course of five years at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, I contributed to the reinstallation of the museum’s permanent collection of Greek, Roman, and Byzantine art. My work encompassed a wide range of exhibition displays, addressing topics such as the development of narrative in early Greek vase painting, the roles of women and children in the ancient Greek family, and the significance of Byzantine luxury objects and early Christian pilgrimage. As the Stavros Niarchos Fellow in Classical Art, I collaborated closely with Laure Marest, Cornelius and Emily Vermeule Associate Curator of Greek and Roman Art, on the reinstallation of Roman portrait statues in the permanent collection, rethinking their presentation to strengthen both historical interpretation and visitor engagement. 

In addition to my work on permanent galleries, I have contributed to several temporary exhibitions. One project of particular significance is Life, Death & Revelry: The Farnese Sarcophagus (2018) at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. For this exhibition, I worked with the lead curator and the Education and Interpretation Department to develop exhibition labels and didactic materials, including a timeline tracing the sarcophagus’s journey from ancient Rome to modern Boston. The exhibition paired the Farnese Sarcophagus with a contemporary digital installation, Maenads & Satyrs, by the artist collective OpenEndedGroup, offering a compelling modern reimagining of the ancient work. 

My curatorial experience is complemented by extensive work in collections research. During the 2021–2022 academic year at Tufts University Art Galleries, I collaborated with curatorial and collections management staff to conduct research on the permanent collection of ancient Mediterranean art, with a particular focus on provenance. The collection spans regions across the Mediterranean and dates from the mid-fifth millennium BCE to the sixth century CE. As part of this work, I identified several objects that appear to be modern forgeries. 

Earlier, in the summer of 2018, I served as Graduate Curatorial Intern for Ancient Art at the Princeton University Art Museum. In this role, I worked on the preparatory stages of a Corpus Vasorum Antiquorum (CVA) publication for the museum’s collection of Attic red-figure vases. I conducted research on the pelikai in the collection and authored the corresponding catalogue entries.
