⸻ About

Discover

This site brings together my past life in the U.S. National Airspace System, my current work in anthropology and Latin American studies, and my long-standing love of photography and visual storytelling.


Public service & aviation

From 2008 to 2023 I worked as an air traffic controller and union leader, helping keep complex airspace safe while mentoring new controllers and navigating large-scale organizational change.


Anthropology & everyday life

Now I’m studying how culture, history, and power show up in everyday life in Latin America—from bilingual family life in Colombia to rural communities and Afro-Colombian histories.
