About

I am a Visual Anthropologist and interpretive writer working at the intersection of ethnographic research, documentary film, and public storytelling. I hold an MA in Visual Anthropology from the University of Manchester, where I developed a practice grounded in how meaning is made and communicated across cultures, through language, image, environment, and lived experiene.

My work sits at a crossroads of ethnographic research and accessible public education. I bring an anthropological lens to content development, interpretive writing, and community engagement for museums, cultural heritage sites, and public history projects. I am particularly committed to projects that center underrepresented voices, and that build reciprocal, community-led partnerships rather than extractive ones.

Currently, I am consulting on the Bisbee Backyard Project, where I have developed a framework for indigenous outreach and collaboration, written interpretive content for STEM stations, and conducted research for exhibition panels and grant materials. This work builds on earlier experience at the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural heritage, where I wrote several articles for Folklife Magazine in connection with the Mother Tongue Film Festival, an international celebration of indigenous linguistic and cultural diversity.

My publications include “You Can’t Forget Our Roots Anyway” in the Journal for Undergraduate Ethnography and several pieces for Folklife Magazine. In addition, my documentary film work has deepened my instinct for research-driven storytelling and working wtih communities on their own terms.

I collaborate with institutions and creative teams seeking culturally informed research, interpretive writing, and content development that is rigorous, ethical, and built to resonate with broad audiences.
