I am a biological anthropologist

four fields
of anthropology, a focus on the origins, manifestations &
measurement of human variation and a variety of experimental, clinical & field
experiences. During my career, I have worked as an independent

institutions—building partnerships while successfully applying my
anthropological training to issues in
medicine and
public health as well as
