Originally from Houston, Texas, I am an Atlanta transplant studying international relations and women’s, gender, and sexuality studies at Agnes Scott College. I’m struggling towards 10 AM sunshine, transformative justice, and radical liberation for all. I enjoy a really good mango and reading theory a little more than most. My education has equipped me to analyze a variety of economic, social, and political systems of power to understand their impacts on the most marginalized, while my jobs and volunteer positions have developed my communication skills.
In my last year at Agnes, I will be writing my senior thesis on the possibilities of transing constructivist analyses of the exportation of criminal justice models. I intend to use this work to explore themes of carceral geography, global governance theory, and the construction of transnational crime. This project is a cumulation of my work in both of my majors as I’ve studied the impact of the carceral state on gender, surveillance as a tool of capitalist development, and the social construction of crime.
This portfolio serves as a place for me to document some of my evolution over the past four years, focused primarily on my academic work. You will find my projects divided by whether they pertain to International Relations or Gender Studies, or general work related to employment or volunteer work in the menu above. You may find that looking through each category is most helpful to you, or browsing posts by the tags on the righthand side. If you are interested in obtaining full papers of any of the excerpts or abstracts featured on the site, please contact me.
