I am pursuing my PhD in Biological Anthropology at the University of Colorado at Boulder with an emphasis on human biology. In 2005, I received my Masters degree from Iowa State University. My thesis addressed the impact of disease transmission between a sympatric population of chimpanzees and humans in Southeastern Senegal. My research interests include disease ecology, human biology, ethnoprimatology and reproductive ecology. My current project addresses the evolution of menopause in human females.
