As a social scientist, I apply quantitative and qualitative research methods to evaluate programs and inform policy decisions. I received my PhD in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

My prior scholarship has appeared in Sociological Inquiry, Contexts, Sociology Compass, Socius, and The Society Pages’ blogs. My research has been supported by a Hyde Dissertation Research Award, the UW-Madison ILS Law & Society Graduate Fellows Program, and The Tobin Project. Prior to graduate school, I was a Presidential Fellow at Dartmouth College’s Center for the Advancement of Learning.
