  • Advisor: Dr. Gloria Dominguez-Bello
  • Focus Area: Modern Humans
  • ACADEMIC BIOGRAPHY:

    I joined the Anthropology department as a M.A. student in 2019 Fall.

    I hold a B.A. degree in Anthropology from Stony Brook University. Prior to joining the Rutgers Masters Program in Anthropology, I engaged in several research projects examining the influences of different genotype mutations on the volume and density in endochondral and intramembranous bones in mice.

  • CURRENT PROJECTS:

    Currently, I'm working on how surgical birth would lead to bone modification, and how microbial restoration will normalize the phenotype. I hope to find the link between developmental changes and microbial disruption.

  • RESEARCH INTERESTS:

    Modern human osteology, bone modification under microbial disruption
