About Me   

I am an archaeologist with a speciality in paleoethnobotany, and have been involved in these fields of study in the United States for a decade. My research interests include exploring anthropogenic ecology, subsistence related risk management strategies, and the economies of middle range societies.

In May, 2006, I received my Ph.D. in Anthropology from Washington University in St. Louis. My dissertation, chaired by Dr. Gayle Fritz, is entitled, Subsistence and Economy of a Classic Hohokam Site in Southern Arizona: A Paleoethnobotanical Analysis of the Marana Mound Site.

I am on the Register of Professional Archaeologists (RPA), and a member of the Society for American Archaeology (SAA) and the Society for Ethnobiology. Currently, I am a Visiting Scientist at Indiana State University.
