During my graduate and postdoctoral career, I was secured multiple awards from the National Science Foundation (Graduate Research Fellowship, Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant, Postdoctoral Research Fellowship), the Leakey Foundation, and the U.S. Fulbright Program. I was admitted to the University of Michigan in Anthropology, which was the top graduate school for anthropology at the time.
