About Me:
I am faculty in the History and Humanities Department at Palmer Trinity School in Miami, FL. I teach couses on the evolution of humans in the cosmos, as well as cultural anthropology. I recently developed my dissertation into a book titled Intimate Partner Violence and Advocate Response: Redefining Love in Western Belize (Lexington Books, 2016). My research focuses on the cultural underpinnings which facilitate gender-based intimate partner violence in Cayo, Belize, as well as the efforts of advocates to diminish the problem. It is my continual goal to join forces with others studying similar problems in different areas so that we may strive for an international coalition of applied social scientists and local residents, together advocating for human rights.
