About Me

Growing up in rural Northwest Georgia gave me itchy feet. As a first generation college student in New York City, I was restless to see more of the world, leading me to summers in the Intermontane West and a semester in Nepal. I have since made Nepal a second home. My academic and professional life is oriented around my research and ethical commitments to Nepal and the wider Himalaya. I am currently based in Northeast England and welcome opportunities to engage with others devoted to supporting rural futures in South Asia.
