I am a writer and cultural anthropologist interested in the relationship between emotion, politics, and environment.

My dissertation, Living With Crisis: Family, Labor, and Environment in Flint, Michigan explores the ongoing effects of the Flint water crisis. I write about the everyday ways people form communities, make collective decisions, and sustain hope in a crisis that lasts years. This work has been supported by the Wenner-Gren Foundation and the Martin Family Fellowship for Sustainability. 

I received my PhD from MIT's program in History, Anthropology, Science, Technology, and Society in 2023. I am currently a lecturer in the Tufts Anthropology Department.

Alongside writing and teaching, I enjoy hosting podcasts with the New Books Network. I am always excited about opportunities to curate thoughtful conversations that make anthropological ideas engaging and accessible to wider audiences.
