Biography

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Biological Anthropology at CSU. For the first two years of my Ph.D., I was a Leakey Foundation Baldwin Fellow. I have participated in various paleoanthropological and archaeological field projects, including at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania, Afar and Shinfa in Ethiopia, and the Washakie Wilderness in Wyoming.
