BIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY

I am a first year graduate student in Biological Anthropology interested in social behavioral development and life history in non-human primates. Previously I have studied mother-infant relationships and their effects on juvenile and subadult social behavior in various lemur species at the Duke Lemur Center. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Evolutionary Anthropology and Biology at Duke University and later spent a year working as a research assistant at the University of Texas at Austin. There, I investigated differences in activity and energetic priorities across age in Verreaux’s sifaka.
