I am a media artist who explores topics involving relations of power in environmental, cultural, and historical contexts. I hold a PhD -- doctor of philosophy in anthropology -- from the Department of Anthropology, University of California, Irvine, and a Master of Fine Arts in film and video from the Department of Visual Arts, University of California, San Diego. My documentary and experimental films and videos have been shown in film festivals and academic settings in the United States, France, Holland, Germany, Italy, Turkey, India, Japan, Russia, and on a global scale through online venues including Amazon Prime.
