About

Welcome! I am a third-year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Sociology and the Brooks School of Public Policy at Cornell University. I use demographic, causal inference, and computational methods to study historical and contemporary topics in the areas of racial stratification, residential segregation and diversity, and health. Currently, I am working on two projects: the first focuses on the causal effects of segregation on black-white longevity disparities; the second seeks to understand emergent patterns of skin tone stratification among white Americans. I am an affiliate of the Cornell Population Center, Cornell Center for Social Sciences, and the Cornell Center for the Study of Inequality.

Previously, I was a pre-doctoral research fellow in sociology and economics at Johns Hopkins University. I graduated from the University of Washington, Seattle with a B.A. in sociology.
