Anthropology

Anthropology

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from the University of California, Santa Cruz, where I developed a strong academic foundation in cultural, biological, and archaeological anthropology. My studies included coursework in the Anthropocene, feminist ethnography, and political anthropology, which provided a nuanced understanding of human societies and their interactions with environments and power structures. I authored a senior thesis, "Resistance at Mission Santa Cruz in the Early 19th Century: An Archaeological History," which integrated field research, historical analysis, and material culture studies to examine indigenous resistance during colonial rule. This academic background, combined with research design and critical theoretical frameworks, has equipped me with the skills to comprehensively analyze and interpret human behavior, cultural evolution, and material evidence.
Archaeology

Archaeology

With a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from the University of California, Santa Cruz, I have a strong academic foundation in archeology, enriched by coursework in archaeological research design, historical anthropology, and the study of material culture. My educational focus included understanding the Anthropocene and its impact on human behavior and advanced studies in feminist ethnography and political anthropology. These areas provided a multidisciplinary approach to analyzing artifacts, societal development, and the intersection of cultural narratives and environmental factors. During my undergraduate career, I developed an archeological thesis, "Resistance at Mission Santa Cruz in the Early 19th Century: An Archaeological History," which combined field research with historical analysis. This work involved examining primary sources, conducting site-based evaluations, and integrating sociopolitical contexts into interpreting material findings. My thesis highlighted the complexities of resistance and survival strategies among indigenous communities during colonial interactions. Additionally, my coursework emphasized practical applications of archeological methods, including using research design frameworks to reconstruct historical narratives. I also engaged in collaborative academic discussions and projects that bridged anthropology with political and cultural studies, further refining my ability to approach archeological studies with a holistic perspective. This experience has equipped me with theoretical knowledge and practical skills essential for understanding and contributing to archeology.
Criminal Justice

Criminal Justice

My criminal justice expertise is rooted in my academic and professional experiences. While earning my Juris Doctor with a concentration in Trial & Appellate Advocacy from Suffolk University Law School, I gained a robust understanding of criminal law and procedure through coursework and hands-on training. I further developed this knowledge as a student prosecutor under Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Rule 3:03, where I argued motions, conducted arraignments, and managed pre-trial processes for both felony and misdemeanor cases. Professionally, I have contributed to various district attorney offices, including Los Angeles County and Suffolk County, where I supported complex casework involving gang violence, firearm possession, and appeals. My responsibilities included drafting legal motions, negotiating plea agreements, and preparing for jury trials. Additionally, I have worked on criminal appeals, crafting briefs and researching nuanced legal issues such as the implications of landmark rulings on contemporary cases. These experiences and my commitment to justice and legal advocacy have provided me with a comprehensive understanding of criminal justice from both procedural and strategic perspectives.
Social Studies

Social Studies

Based on my academic background and experience, I have a strong foundation in social studies, particularly in political science, law, and anthropology. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in both Anthropology and Politics from the University of California, Santa Cruz, where I engaged in coursework covering global politics, law and social issues, political anthropology, and international law. My legal education at Suffolk University Law School further deepened my understanding of governmental structures, constitutional law, and the judicial system. Additionally, my professional experiences, including work at district attorney offices and participation in appellate advocacy, have provided practical insights into legal and political institutions, reinforcing my expertise in social studies.
