There is a saying in forensics that "teeth don't lie" - the stories of our lives remain etched in bone and teeth long after we are done with them. I seek the stories they hold, to help descendants and loved ones win justice, to name the unnamed and to solve mysteries of our shared human past.

​

My research explores best practices in gender diverse sex assessments in skeletal biological profiles, and the subsequent needs in expanded documentation processes within death investigations.

​

I hope in future to bring expanded, more inclusive sex assessment tools to use in modern and ancient sites of disasters and accidents, crime scenes and war zones, to find, document and return those stories to those who lived them.
