I am a Paleoanthropologist at Yale University, which is where I have landed after a long and complex road from taking my first anthropology class back at Washington State University in 1996. Like many undergraduates, I had a lot of questions. Also like many undergraduates, I had not encountered anthropology as a discipline until I was in college. When I took that first anthropology class I knew that I had found the gateway to the answers for many of those questions. Now, I get to be a part of both asking fresh questions and leading incredible new minds towards finding their own.
