About Me:
I am a PhD student in anthropology at the University of Kansas. Currently, I am a 2006-2007 Fulbright Scholar studying the relationship between Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs and Non-profits) and their relationship with local communities, as well as the culture, interaction, and sustainability of these relationships, specifically relating with Maya communities in Guatemala. I have a Bachelors degree in Anthropology and History from Ball State University and a Masters degree in Anthropology with a focus in Archaeology from the University of Kansas. My masters' thesis focused on community archaeology in highland Guatemala. I am currently living in Chocolá, Suchitepéquez
