Meet Courtney Ng: Glimpse Writing Correspondent in Lima, Peru - Fall 2009

Courtney Ng, an Anthropology major at Rice University, was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. This fall, she is studying archaeology in Lima, Peru. Before Lima, she spent time in a small town called Huyro, near Machu Picchu, where she cleared abandoned Inca ruins as part of a volunteer fellowship from her university. Since arriving in Peru, she has found herself frustrated by her name, which Peruvians find impossible to pronounce, and has been called anything from corny to carne, the Spanish word for meat. One of her goals for the semester is to perfect the art of rolling her r's.
