ABOUT ME

Ph.D. student in USA. I primarily document Naso, an endangered indigenous language in Panama.

Trained as a psychologist, practiced as linguist, with the heart of an artist.

I go native every time. Some people call me a chameleon.

I'm a capoeirista! Would love to meet others around the globe...
