Welcome to my Portfolio

I am an independent folklorist working in my home of central Arkansas. Here you can find information about my training and experience, samples of projects I have been a part of, and current independent work. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions about the information you see here please feel free to contact me.

I also keep a blog called The Boiled Down Juice about the intersection of human rights, social justice and folklore, and ruminations on fieldwork.
