I am a doctoral candidate (ABD) working with Victor Thompson here at UGA. I specialize in the areas of Island and Coastal Archaeology, Historical Ecology, and the Cultures of the South Pacific. I have studied Oceanic Societies for over seven years, including as an undergraduate working with Dr. Carmen White at Central Michigan University. Since 2011, I have worked on archaeological field projects in Florida, Georgia, Michigan, and South Carolina as well as in Fiji, French Polynesia, and the Cook Islands.

Institutions and Governance Lab

Our lab is unified by an interest in group-level decision-making with regard to land and environmental management, use and access. This includes formal "rules of the game" (social norms and rules, whether customary or statutory, de facto or de jure), as well as formal and informal processes through which land and resources are managed and governed. Interests span local to global scales of decision-making and governance, and diverse governance forms (state, market, community).

Laboratory of Archaeology

Established in the fall of 1947, the Laboratory of Archaeology at the University of Georgia, is the largest archaeological research and collections facility in Georgia. Our mission includes preserving and curating qualified archaeological collections and records, facilitating research for professionals and training students in archaeology, and service to the state of Georgia.

Zooarchaeology Lab

The Zooarchaeology Laboratory specializes in the analysis of vertebrate remains from archaeological sites, but also works with invertebrate, paleontological, and ecological samples. The comparative collection numbers over 5,000 vertebrate and invertebrate specimens with an emphasis on animals from the southeastern United States, adjacent waters, and the Caribbean.

I am nutritionist by training. I earned my BS and MS Nutrition degrees at the University of the Philippines Los Baños and University of Wisconsin Stout.  Prior to doing my doctoral studies, I was as an assistant professor at the University of the Philippines Los Baños. I am an advocate of the use of culinary heritage as a platform of food and nutrition security.  My research has been mostly on Philippine food and consumption.

I ground my work in science and technology studies (STS), human geography, and political ecology. I recently returned from fieldwork in Hawaii, where I used ethnographic, spatial, and collaboratory methods to investigate the impact of citizen science on conservation of threatened and endangered species. My other interests include science communication, feminist theory, and visual anthropology.
