I am a PhD student at the University of Montana, co-supervised by Drs. Anna Marie Prentiss and Peter Jordan. My research with FORAGER aims to better understand how demographic boom and bust cycles influenced changes in settlement, technology, and social relationships among prehistoric foraging societies. I am also involved with collecting and analysing new data from the Bridge River Archaeological Site. Previously, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Anthropology with a minor in GIS from Montana State University and a Master of Arts in Anthropology from University of Montana. My master’s thesis focused on prehistoric land-use strategies in the southwestern region of Yellowstone National Park. My other research interests primarily revolve around lithic technologies and the application of GIS in archaeology.
