Welcome!

I am a Ph.D. candidate advised by Dr. Patricia C. Wright and Dr. A. Catherine Markham in the Interdepartmental Doctoral Program in Anthropological Sciences (IDPAS) at Stony Brook University. Broadly, I am interested in nature-based livelihoods, forests as a natural resource, and the many ways animal and human lives interact. Please explore this website to learn more about my research interests and past experiences and to get in touch. You may also follow my fieldwork and research by reading Notes from the Field,  checking out some fieldwork photos, or by clicking the Instagram icon at the bottom of any of these pages.
