Biological Anthropology
I am a second-year graduate student interested in personality and social relationships in non-human primates. I most recently studied self-scratching behavior and its relationship to social context in wild mantled howler monkeys in Costa Rica. I earned my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Carleton College where I studied resilience and the impact of stressors in captive cotton-top tamarins for my senior thesis. Post-undergrad, I spent a year as a lab manager in the Neiworth Primate Lab at Carleton where I conducted research on episodic and recognition memory in our aging tamarins.
