I am an scholar, an educator, a writer, an organizer. Some of my scholarly work is oriented to public and community needs; all of my community work is informed by my expertise in studying human culture, history, politics, and knowledge.

I have 20 years of training and experience in anthropological research methods, ethics, and practices.

I also have more than 15 years of teaching experience with youth, young adults, and adults in higher education and other settings.
