Brief Description of Education & Experience
I am an archaeologist who is broadly interested in human-environment interactions from the past to the present across the globe. I focus on North American prehistory, specialize in the zooarchaeology of the U.S. Southwest, and use principles of data science in my research.
I completed my Ph.D. at the University of New Mexico and am a postdoc at Crow Canyon Archaeological Center. My dissertation work—funded by a NSF Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Award—focused on Ancestral Pueblo fishing strategies in the Middle Rio Grande region of New Mexico during the late pre-Hispanic period. I have wide-ranging interests in human behavioral ecology, stable isotope ecology, 3D geometric morphometrics, radiocarbon chronology building, and conservation biology.
