Applied anthropologist with 15+ years of experience conducting qualitative and quantitative research. My work has focused on understanding how diverse communities adapt to changing environments, which I have approached through ethnographic methods. As a consulting methodologist and qualitative analyst, I help people design research models that address their project goals. I also provide innovative data interpretations that inspire creative solutions to social problems in multicultural settings. My particular areas of expertise include qualitative research design and methodology and qualitative data analysis. Additional areas of expertise include project management, public speaking, creative storytelling, ethnographic writing, and teaching.My anthropological teaching methods challenge students to analyze contemporary social problems holistically, while formulating practical, culturally appropriate solutions.
