I am a multimodal cultural anthropologist whose work explores (in)security, statecraft, racialization, place-making and subjectivity in urban areas of Trinidad. I am currently a  PhD candidate  at the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn). I am a member of CAMRA at UPenn—an interdisciplinary collective committed to participatory, experimental media-making. I am also a student affiliate of the Center for Experimental Ethnography at UPenn. Prior to starting my PhD program, I was trained as an architect at the Fay Jones School of Architecture and worked at ACLA: Works Architecture and Interiors, a design firm  in Trinidad.
