My Story

I grew up in Tucson, Arizona, 90 miles from the Mexican border, though I didn’t think about that until I was 17, when I spent a summer in Guadalajara studying Spanish, and developed an endlessly fascinating sense of marvel with our neighboring country. After getting a degree in History at the University of Michigan, I studied Cultural Anthropology at the University of Texas and developed research interests in indigenous ethnic identity, language and culture, shamanism, and tourism. I continued to travel every year to continue research in Oaxaca, Mexico. Warren Wilson has allowed me to share my love of ALL of anthropology, and not become fixed in a particular subfield.

At Warren Wilson, we have the time we need to know our students as real, complete, complicated human beings, not just a butt in a seat and a name on a paper.
