I am an Anthropologist and Geneticist who studies biocultural variation in longitudinal health and child growth. I use Bayesian models to assess predictors of growth and health outcomes, and my research integrates genetic, health, and socio-ecological data to study human biological variation in diverse contexts.
Currently, I work with three ongoing field studies in Dominica, Bangladesh, and Argentina researching health, growth, and biodemography in rural and indigenous populations.
