I have worked in many diverse and collaborative research teams over the past decade. In practice, I fully embrace my "4-field anthropology" roots in that the scope of my research ranges from highly qualitative (linguistic anthropology and psychosocial health) to highly quantitative (skeletal/dental variation, 2D/3D imaging and analysis, evolutionary morphology).
