I am an MA student in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Colorado at Boulder. My concentration is in biological anthropology. More specifically, I am interested in the ways in which biology and culture intersect and can be studied in tandem to better understand the health of various human groups and their lifeways, past and present.

My academic and research interests include: biocultural studies of diet and nutrition; human biology, physiology, and ecology; medical anthropology; public health and obesity; human rights and inequality; issues of "race" and class; eugenics and bioethics; human variation and adaptation; isotopes; foods, food processing, and food systems; and human energetics.

I work under the tutelage of Dr. Matt Sponheimer. Also, I have a somewhat unhealthy addiction to coffee. =)
