"I am fortunate to continue pursuing anthropology as my career as an incoming Assistant Professor of Biocultural Medical Anthropology at The University of Toronto—St. George. I use anthropological skills daily, whether connecting to community partners, planning mixed-methods research, or mentoring students. Although I am also a human biologist, I became a AAA member early in my career because I wanted to be exposed to all types of anthropological thinking. I stay a AAA member because, as a biocultural anthropologist, it is vital to see all types of anthropology—especially cultural."

"I became a member when I was a graduate student to attend annual meetings, present my work, and meet anthropologists from across the world. These meetings planted in me the seeds for my later work representing anthropology and anthropologists in organizations such as EASA, IUAES, WCAA, WAU, ISC, and CIPSH."

"Initially, I planned to become a professor. I evolved to become an anthropologist with a career in advertising and marketing research and a Lecturer at Columbia Business School."

"Do deep ethnographic research that will contribute to humanity's knowledge of different cultures and societies emphasizing the differences and similarities among humans. Also utilize the four-field approach in exploring human evolution, both biologically and culturally, to seek out the facets of human nature."

"Since becoming a member in 2020, participating in AAA's annual meetings has helped me connect with leading scholars in my field and funding opportunities."
