I am a PhD Candidate in Anthropology at the University of Chicago.

I am preoccupied with thinking about, researching, and writing about living in the desert West in the midst of climate change and after economic crisis. I work at the intersections of political-economic anthropology, environmental anthropology, and linguistic anthropology. I study feminist theory, capitalism, and race.

My dissertation research took place in Arizona and focuses on the afterlives of American ideologies about family, climate, and work in the 21st century.
