About Me
I am an associate professor in the Department of Demography at the University of Texas at San Antonio.
My research focuses primarily on spatial and statistical demography. Substantively, I am interested in human health disparities, food security, historical demography and demography of anthropological populations.
My teaching focuses on the use and application of advanced statistical techniques including hierarchical modeling, hazard modeling, multivariate methods and spatial statistics in human population analysis.

I am a firm believer in the use of Open Access Statistics and am in the process of providing code and data for all of my articles.
As part of this, I am using Figshare to share data and code from some of my recent work in the Spatial Demography Journal
Data and Code from article on Exploratory Spatial Analysis of ACS data. Link to Paper
Data and Code from article on Spatial Regression using ACS data. Link to Paper
