I was born and raised in South Central Los Angeles, CA, but I have been in the South since 2010, slowly making my way across different parts of the Appalachian Mountains. Prior to going to Knoxville for my doctorate, I earned an M.A. from Appalachian State University and B.A. from Mars Hill University. I'm currently teaching at the University of North Carolina at Asheville.
When I'm not teaching or working on my research, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching (and playing) sports, and observing wildlife. |
