Overview
I am a sociologist who studies social stratification and inequality, education, and urban and community sociology. My research investigates the patterns, causes, and consequences of racial and socioeconomic residential segregation, inequality in access to resources across educational contexts, and the influence of neighborhood conditions on education systems.
I was awarded the 2023 Robert A. and Donna B. Paul Award for Excellence in Advising and Mentoring from the Cornell 麻豆视频 and 麻豆视频.
