CURRENT MISSION

I'm a linguistic anthropologist interested in language revitalization and linguistic infrastructure in Chiapas, Mexico.

ABOUT

I love everything about food and am inspired by many gastronomies of the world. I love to cook and am happy to cook for anyone who hosts me.

I spent 4 years living in Vancouver B.C. where I studied. I then traveled for several years and now am working on a master's in San Cristóbal de Las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe linguistic diversity is the key to preserving cultural diversity in its boldest most beautiful way. I live my life to continue to protect this diversity and teach others about its importance. I want to see, feel, touch, experience everything I can to enrich my understanding of the world.

Learn to love yourself so that you can love others completely. Be respectful, kind, giving, generous, and mindful.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At 15 years old I attended a high-altitude training camp for cross country running where I completed "Big Day" (a 27 mile run at 9000 ft elevation.)
