Currently, I am a Ph.D. student in Cultural Anthropology at the University of Kansas. My doctoral research focuses on indigenous migration of Kaqchikel and K'iche' Maya of Guatemala. I am particularly interested in coyote identities and migration as a "development" strategy.
In 2004, I earned a dual degree in Spanish and Anthropology from Centre College (Danville, Kentucky). After earning my BA, I pursued a MA in Cultural Anthropology from California State University, Sacramento. I completed my thesis, "Many Words Walk in the World": A Discursive Analysis of the Zapatista Revolution, in 2008.
I have taught as both a Graduate Teaching Assistant and a Lecturer in Anthropology, History, and Spanish departments at both KU and CSUS.
