Her work examines skeletal trauma responses across the Roman world using limb bone geometries, with particular interest in fragmentary remains and osteological pedagogy. Current research emphasizes human variation through time, exploring how past populations adapted to injury/disability. This includes studying functional implications of skeletal pathologies to better understand risk, resilience, and lived experiences in antiquity.
