I was born and raised in Indiana, but enjoy traveling and experiencing new environments and cultures. I graduated from Indiana University Northwest in 2006 with a BA in Sociology and an AA in Anthropology, before coming to Indiana University - Bloomington to pursue my sociological interests where I completed my MA and PhD.
Whenever the opportunity to travel arises, I insist on incorporating local cuisine specialties into the experience. In my kitchen at home, I engage in the occasional experimentation with dishes which sometimes leads to fantastic results. Aside from aspiring to be a "foodie," I enjoy modern art, hiking, running, and spending time with my significant other and our two terriers.
