I am a human biologist specializing in nutrition.  I teach courses on health, human evolutionary biology, and nutritional anthropology.  I enjoy community-based research in the Fox Valley region and have interests in diabetes prevention and food systems.  In addition to serving as a member of the Anthropology Department, I am also as an advisor for the Health and Society minor as well as the Biomedical Ethics minor.  As a member of the pre-health advising committee, I advise students interested in public health and global health careers.
