Joined Atlas Obscura in 2020

BAH in History and a minor in Classical Studies at Queens University. Currently studying a Masters in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. I have a passion for architecture and the mysterious origins of the human species. I have traveled throughout South America, Europe, India and Asia in search of lesser known archaeological sites of great historical value.
