Welcome! I completed a BA in Latin American Studies at New York University and a PhD in Society & Environment in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy & Management at UC Berkeley.  In addition to publications in Antipode and the Journal of Peasant Studies, I have published policy-oriented papers in Guatemala and testified in US immigration courts.

I am currently an assistant professor of Politics and contributing faculty member in Latin American Studies (LAS) and American Ethnic Studies (AES) at Willamette University in Salem, OR.

I am pleased to announce that I am joining the Geography Department at the University of Washington in Seattle in fall 2014 -- stay tuned!
