Welcome!

Researcher. Scholar. Anthropologist.

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Anthropology with a Graduate Certificate in Applied Statistics at Purdue University. I conduct research at the intersection of biological anthropology and archaeological anthropology. My research focuses on the use of quantitative methods to answer anthropological questions.

Check out my blog, Anthropologist in the Archives, to learn more about my work!

Time for that final push at the end of the semester. One more term paper and then back to writing the dissertation! #phdlife #anthropology Sometimes you’ve got to take a #concertselfie before what might be your last concert for a while. Shout out to @tallestbailey for being the best stand partner this semester! Sometimes when the weather is nice, you’ve gotta move that reading time outside. #vitaminD #phdlife Took a break to visit @baysmountainpark relaxed, recharged, and ready to get back to writing! #capturekingsport #springbreak Sometimes being an archaeologist means hiking a creek to find stones to use for an experiment. Special shout out to @tkeevs for helping gather rocks and @weacreekorchard for always supporting our #experimentalarchaeology Back at it today! Next phase of my Kentucky research is going through the 38 resources I requested while traveling. Hopefully, I’ll find some more data! #anthropologistinthearchives #archaeology #anthropology After two long weeks of research, it’s time to say goodbye to #uky! It’s been a good trip, but I’m definitely ready to head home. Sometimes when doing archival work, you find a ton of information in one day and it’s amazing. Other times, you show up at the library and find out 80% of the books you wanted to see are stuck between two broken shelves. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ #todayisnotmyday #anthropologistinthearchives #anthropology #archaeology #uky In case you think no one will ever read your thesis, I will!! Moving on to phase II of my research trip: the Theses Collection Rotunda at the Young Library. #academia #anthropologistinthearchives #universityofkentucky
