I have had the opportunity to participate in archaeological projects in Ireland and have worked for the Bureau of Reclamation in Cultural Resource Management for several years. My advisor is Dr. Karen Harry, and I am associated with the Southwestern Archaeology and Indigenous Technologies Laboratory. My general research interests include; Southwestern Archaeology with a specific focus on ceramic technologies, Puebloan culture, Hohokam culture, Lower Colorado River Peoples culture, Great Basin Archaeology, Neolithic Archaeology, Classic Archaeology, and Bioarchaeology. My current research focuses on the re-analysis of materials recovered from Catclaw Cave in Arizona, during salvage excavations in 1949.
