I am a bioarchaeologist interested in the biological and social impacts of initial human settlement and subsequent adaptation to island environments. My research integrates multiple lines of biological and archaeological evidence, including ancient DNA, isotopes, human osteology, and chronology building, to understand the challenges people faced arriving upon and adapting to island environments in the Caribbean and Pacific. Currently, I am an NSF SBE Postdoctoral Fellow and a member of the Anthropological Genetics Laboratory Group in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.
