Anthropologist // Sensory Scholar // Multimodal Ethnographer // Female Health Researcher // Human Design Reader // Swede in Salento

How fun that you’ve found my website! I created it to communicate experiences from my PhD research on olive culture in Puglia, Italy. It has since expanded to include other passions, interests & curiosities. 

I have recently defended my thesis and am currently applying for postdoctoral research funding. My newly found interest in female health issues, and complexities of living with a menstrual cycle, is the core of my research moving forward. I am passionate about understanding women’s health as cross-cultural societal phenomena, such as by comparing eastern and western perspectives on medicine. I am equally keen to contribute to public discussions regarding hormonal contraceptives, the medical gaslighting of women, and the infradian rhythm inherent in the female biology (especially as related to the circadian rhythm influencing many societal norms and expectations). 

When I do not engage in anthropological research, I spend my days gardening, doing Human Design readings for clients, writing a book, and letting my creativity flow through painting and making artwork.
