ABOUT ME
I am a PhD Candidate at Arizona State University in the School of Human Evolution and Social Change.
​
I am a bioarchaeologist which means I learn about the past by studying human skeletal remains from archaeological contexts. I have experience in human anatomy, osteology, archaeology, and forensic anthropology.
​
Right now I am working on my dissertation which explores frailty and resilience in the Spanish Influenza Pandemic of 1918.
​
My non-academic interests include hiking, rock climbing, podcasts, James Bond, and alpine disaster non-fiction novels.
Me presenting a poster at the annual conference of the Society for American Archaeology in 2019.
