I am an assistant professor of anthropology in the University of Delaware’s Associate in Arts Program in Wilmington, where I also serve as faculty coordinator. My research interests include the anthropology of North America, food, gender, the family, and the reproduction of social class. My particular interest is in human food practices and the process by which consumers form, express, and reproduce identities through food. I am strongly committed to equity and inclusion, and my educational area of expertise is inclusive pedagogy and the institutional practices that promote success for Black, Hispanic, Asian, Native, mixed race, first generation and low-income students. I also freelance as qualitative researcher and consultant for corporate and nonprofit organizations to help them determine how, where, and why their products fit into consumers’ lives.
