As a Double Dawg at the University of Georgia, I completed my undergraduate studies in Anthropology and International Affairs, where I developed a passion for legal anthropology and interdisciplinary approaches to understanding social and environmental issues. My research centers on legal anthropology, examining how law, culture, and governance shape social relationships and institutions across diverse communities. Through an anthropological perspective, I explore the ways legal systems interact with cultural practices, political structures, and environmental challenges, with particular attention to questions of governance, justice, and human-environment relationships. I look forward to expanding these interests throughout my graduate studies while developing research that bridges anthropology, law, and public policy.
