I am a 2025 PhD recipient in sociology from Columbia University. For the 2025-26 school year, I am a postdoctoral research fellow in the department of sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, funded by the Institute for Diversity Science.
My research focuses on how educational organizations and policies attempt to solve social problems. I investigate how stakeholders think, talk, and make decisions about social problems like inequality or segregation in education, and what these findings can tell us about broader trends in institutions, culture, and ideology. As such, my research focuses both on organizational and policy approaches to addressing social problems and on how stakeholders like parents, teachers, and students respond to these efforts. I am also particularly interested in the relationship between political forces and organizational priorities.
My work has been published in Sociology of Education and Socius, as well as the Book Reviews section of Sociology of Race and Ethnicity.
Before beginning my graduate studies, I received a bachelor's degree in Sociology at Princeton University and a master's degree in teaching at Relay Graduate School of Education, focusing on secondary math education. I am passionate about educational equity, and I have worked in education for more than a decade as a classroom teacher, curriculum writer, mentor, and tutor.
The photos below highlight some of my academic experiences. I am grateful for the community of students, scholars, and practitioners I get to join through this work!
