CURRENT MISSION

Two current goals: to attain fluency in Yucatec Maya and to finish my prospectus!

ABOUT ME

I am a Ph.D. student in Political Science at Duke. I study racial and ethnic politics. I also study Yucatec Maya, and I wish I could live in Valladolid, Mexico. I cook amazing Mexican food, I am always the first person dancing at a party, I have a great sense of fashion, and I have been happily married for 5 years.
