Profile

• Profile

  I first went to Ethiopia in 2015 and am currently a Ph. D student conducting research on food culture and livelihoods in the Southern Gamo Highlands of Ethiopia. In addition to writing my thesis, I would like to be actively involved in outreach activities as well as organizing and participating in related study groups.
