People are first from a particular place, a particular family, a particular world view and culture. (Likewise, in reverse, cultures are about people...) And all people have interesting stories to tell, each one unique and untellable by anyone else. I love learning about others and I love writing about them in the context of their surroundings and influences. While this is the fundamental skill and purpose of an anthropologist, which I draw on for every project, I take it a step further in my skill as a writer toward translating complex cultural and personal issues and patterns into their organic stories in an engaging and accessible language.
