I received my B.A. in Anthropology from Vanderbilt University in 2018. Much of my undergraduate research involved the dental microwear texture analysis of archaeological remains from the Wari Empire as well as modern capuchin monkeys from Costa Rica. I joined the Rutgers Anthropology department as a Ph.D. student in 2019.

I am currently in progress towards completing my Ph.D. dissertation and defending my thesis with an expected goal of Fall 2025.
