I am a PhD student in the School of Culture, History & Language at the Australian National University. My current research focuses on using archaeozoological methods to investigate subsistence strategies and interaction dynamics across the Massim Islands and Morobe coast from the Late Pleistocene through the Holocene. I completed my Bachelor of Arts and Science (Honours) and Masters degree at The University of Otago, New Zealand. My research was on faunal analysis and subsistence pattern change over time at Matenkupkum, an archaeological site on New Ireland.
