Welcome!

I am an Education in Emergencies (EiE) practitioner with nearly 15 years of experience in education and humanitarian response across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. I am also an anthropologist and scholar of Comparative and International Education (CIE). My research is rooted in the fields of CIE, EiE, and the anthropologies of education, childhood, development, and forced migration. I primarily utilize qualitative, critical, ethnographic, and visual research methodologies. My Ph.D. research has focused on processes of knowledge production, systemic inequities, and social emotional learning with refugee and crisis-affected communities. I am also a certified yoga teacher! I teach vinyasa-style yoga for all ages and levels, and strive to ensure my yoga offerings are accessible for individuals with all body types, identities, and socio-economic backgrounds.
