My research uses animal bones to explore human-environmental interactions in the past. My focus is the Alm rock shelter in Wyoming, which lies in the foothills of the Bighorn Mountains, on the eastern side of the Bighorn basin. The site encompasses over 11,000 years of repeated use by humans, from the end of the last ice age until colonial contact.

As a Ph.D. candidate in Integrative Conservation and Anthropology, I specialize in primates, community perspectives, and participation in conservation. My academic focus is at the intersection of animal behavior, conservation biology, strategic communication, bioacoustics, social assessments, and science communication. I am committed to extending the impact of conservation efforts, as evidenced by my proficiency in science communication and stakeholder engagement. I aim to foster tangible and sustainable conservation outcomes.

I am a graduate student at the University of Georgia and part of the Human and Environment Change Lab (https://www.heclab.org) advised by Dr. Don Nelson. After nearly two years in the field, I am now in the analysis and writing stage of my dissertation. During fieldwork, I employed diverse methods to understand how the politics of environment and pollution are enmeshed in people's everyday lives in the urban-environment landscape of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
