i am a computational social scientist, interested in studying the structure of human connections.

originally trained in biology & psychology (bs) at william & mary, & later anthropology (ma & phd) at mizzou, i gained an appreciation for the complexities of both biological & social systems. i now integrate insights from anthropology into my theoretical background to build agent-based models that simulate how we cooperate, collaborate, & evolve.

my work translates abstract social dynamics into applied, computational models through rigorous coding. i specialize in creating network simulations to produce synthetic datasets that quantify how social capital, norms, & collective behaviors emerge in real-world environments.

beyond my work, i am a creative at heart. when i’m not writing simulations, you can find me making art, reading, enjoying music, & exploring the intersection of science & art.
