I am a PhD student in Sociology at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. I am broadly interested in how inequality is reproduced among individuals, groups, and organizations that explicitly condemn it.

My work examines how processes that sustain inequality are justified or “slip through the cracks.”

My master’s thesis explored how a workplace committed to social justice and equity enforces an untraditional structure that leads to status inequality.

My dissertation (in progress) explores how parents make decisions about how to financially support their children through the life course.

Outside of academia, I am an avid reader of literary fiction, enjoyer of the arts, and intermediate guitar player.
