In addition to academic pursuits at Yale, she performed regularly with the a cappella group Out of the Blue and led the globally-ranked Model UN Team at Yale. From 2022, she worked as a field archaeologist in Rome with the Gabii Project, assisted in researching and curating a recent art gallery exhibition and associated catalogue in New York, and was a provenance researcher for the Yale University Art Gallery.
