About me

I am an anthropologist working at the intersections of political-economic anthropology; feminist theory; and linguistic anthropology. I graduated from the University of Chicago in 2025. My first research project was based in Arizona, and focused on the experiences of retirees and the effects of retirement communities across the Southwest.

My second research project is based in Southern California and studies the use of Colorado River water among climate refugees. This project is supported by the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle and includes collaborations with the Nature/Culture lab at the University of Bremen.

Previously I have worked as a contract ethnographer for a nonprofit and in the publishing industry.

I grew up in Los Angeles, where my curiosity about the world—and the way we make it up and create it—was fostered.
