I have a background in ethnographic field work with a focus on social exclusion. In 2005,  I studied identity and exclusion on the rural coast of Ecuador. In 2007, I worked as an activist and an anthropologist for the Tanzanian NGO, HIMS, Health Integrated Multi-sectorlal Services, whose primary efforts are to reduce social exclusion within Tanzanian society. In this capacity, I worked with a number of excluded groups including, single mothers, people living with HIV/AIDS, orphans, street children, and the indigenous Maasai.

I am currently a PhD student focusing on Identifying the Underlying Push/Pull Factors which Reinforce Human Traffic. In 2009-10, I lived in Guatemala where I worked with the organization MuJER, Women for Justice, Education, and Awareness. As such, I worked closely with sex workers in and around the capital gathering ethnographic data to be analyzed and compiled in 2010-11. This project will focus on the extreme social exclusion within Guatemala society and how that relates to the push/pull factors of Human Trafficking.
