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 202My first research project is based in Arizona, and focuses on the experiences of retirees and the effects of retirement communities across the Southwest. I am particularly interested in urban and water infrastructures; kinship; and desert ecologies.

My second research project is based in California and studies the use of Colorado River water among climate refugees.

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.
