I was raised by wolves in a deep, dark forest just outside of Transylvania, where I spent my days frolicking among the evergreens and eating nuts and berries...

No? Ok then, onward with the truth:

I love studying, teaching, and learning anthropology. I received my graduate training in anthropology with a specialization in Latin American & Caribbean studies from the Department of Anthropology at Michigan State University.

I am a previous fellow of the Mesoamerican Language and Cultural Institute at the
UNC-Chapel Hill/ Duke University Consortium in Latin American & Caribbean Studies. Part of my graduate work was completed in residence at the Universidad Autonoma de Yucatan in Merida, Mexico.

I received my undergraduate degree with highest honors in anthropology and linguistics from the University of Florida. In the spaces in between, I lived in France, the Netherlands, and as a Fulbright scholar in Quintana Roo, Mexico.


I am also the Coordinator for the Integrative Studies of Women and Gender Certificate Program. I encourage you to check it out! You may already be eligible for a certificate!

Most of my fun time is spent SCUBA diving. Let me know if you are interested in starting a SCUBA Club on campus!

I can also speak, read, and write Yucatec Maya. If you don't believe me, well then ba'ax ka wa'alike'ex, nojoch kaaxo'ob?
