I am Associate Professor in the School of Anthropology at the University of Arizona, where I am also a faculty affiliate in the Department of Gender and Women’s Studies and the Graduate Program in Social, Cultural, and Critical Theory. Before joining the faculty at UArizona, I earned my PhD in Anthropology from the University of California Berkeley in 2012, and was a three-year Postdoctoral Fellow in the University of Michigan Society of Fellows.

I am a native Oregonian living in the Sonoran Desert in perpetual search of shade.
