After completing my Bachelor’s degree in Evolutionary Anthropology and Biology at the University of Toronto, I moved to Germany in 2023 to pursue a Master’s degree in Paleogenetics at the University of Tübingen. I have been part of the Archaeo- and Paleogenetics working group since 2024, where I am involved in various aspects of laboratory work, including the sampling, handling, and processing of archaeological materials for ancient DNA analysis. In addition, I contribute to laboratory organization and maintenance, as well as to ongoing research projects within the group.
