Biography

I'm the archaeology & biological anthropology editor for SAPIENS magazine. As a science writer I primarily cover human origins, archaeology and evolutionary biology. My stories have appeared in outlets including Discover, Science, Smithsonian, Atlas Obscura, and Audubon. Over the years, I've taught undergraduate and graduate courses about anthropology, archaeology, evolutionary biology, and science communication. As a STEM Writing Specialist & Lecturer at Caltech's Hixon Writing Center, I trained members of the Caltech community to communicate science within and beyond academia. I earned my PhD in 2016 from Harvard University in Anthropological Archaeology & Human Evolutionary Biology. My research focused on understanding the processes by which Homo sapiens spread globally as other human groups, like Neanderthals, went extinct over the past 200,000 years. With methodological expertise in radiocarbon dating and geochemical analyses, I conducted fieldwork in the Balkans, Eastern Europe, and southwest Asia. For undergrad, I attended Dartmouth College and majored in Geochemistry and Anthropology.
