In September, I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing 5 alumnae of Bryn Mawr College for the Bryn Mawr Alumnae Bulletin's fall issue. It was the first time that the Bulletin focused on graduates living outside of the northeast, and each has built a fascinating career for herself in the Tucson area. It was fascinating meeting and talking with each of these women when I made their portraits.

She went on to co-found the Colibri Center for Human Rights, which did similar work, and now she is an assistant research social scientist at the University of Arizona’s Southwest Center and an assistant professor in the School of Anthropology.
