Biography

I am a first-year doctoral student in the Department of Anthropology and Geography at CSU with Dr. Andrew Du with a concentration in Biological Anthropology. My recent research has been on the nutrition of hominins, large vs small game acquisition, and protein toxicity. I have also been working with Dr. Jessica Thompson, Yale University, on the Malawi Ancient Lifeways and Peoples Project (MALAPP) studying how extinct hunter-gatherers in Northern Malawi rock shelters (Middle-Late Stone Age) interacted with their environment.
