I’m an anthropologist and sociocultural linguist with specialities in multi-country ethnography, inequality, intercultural communication, and stakeholder engagement. 

​I love thinking strategically about inequality and human interaction. ​I have lived with and worked among communities in Jordan, Malaysia, Mexico, Micronesia, South Africa, and Tanzania.

​My goal is to guide my project teams and students to think in non-linear ways about their lives and the way they interact with others. I’m  continually seeking ways to get to know people, and make things better through human-centered outreach and self-reflexive communication.

​I’m always learning.
