Research Interests

Curriculum Vitae (CV)

I’m a graduate student in Biological Anthropology at the University of Oregon (B.A., Marquette University, 2007; M.S., University of Oregon 2009).

Generally, I am interested in the effects of market integration and climatic adaptation on health. Specifically, I am interested in how the nutrition transition, environmental adaptation, and parasite loads contribute to the development of autoimmune disorders. Other research interests include endocrine and cardiovascular health, psychosocial stress, skeletal biology and physical activity.
