Curriculum Vitae |
I am a biocultural anthropologist, broadly investigating how ecocultural contexts affect child development and health. But I didn't start out in this field - I graduated from the University of Virginia (BA '97) with degrees in Archaeology and Anthropology, and worked for many years as an archaeologist in the Southeastern U.S. Having my two oldest children motivated my interest in the evolution of childhood and human life history. I pursued this interest at Washington State University (MA '09, PhD '16). After graduating, I continued teaching but also worked as a consulting anthropologist in public health - and had my third child. I am currently an assistant professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Alabama. Roll Tide!
