Archaeologist, Educator, Artist


I am an anthropological archaeologist studying human-environment relationships in the northern Maya lowlands of the Yucatan Peninsula. Specifically, my research has focused on understanding changing resource management practices related to the production of burnt lime in the hilly Puuc region of the Yucatan. I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Anthropology at California State University Dominguez Hills. I am also an Honorary Fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
