Brief Biographical Sketch:
I am a junior at Stanford University studying Archaeology and minoring in Human Biology. My curiosity extends beyond the field sites and into the realm of museum heritage studies. I believe that preserving and sharing our archaeological findings is just as crucial as the excavation process itself. My other research interests include bioarchaeology and historical archaeology in Latin America. I'm deeply involved with Ballet Folklorico de Stanford, where I not only teach but also choreograph. It's my way of sharing another one of my passions and introducing people to the vibrant world of traditional Mexican folk dance.
