Social Scientist | Researcher | Policy Analyst

Through rigorous quantitative research, creative data wrangling, and intentionality, I am dedicated to shedding light on divers of inequality and documenting the unintended consequences of public policy. I'm particularly passionate about understanding how they relate to migrants and their communities.

I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow 

at the Center for Innovation in Social Science 

at Boston University. 

I obtained my doctorate and masters of science from the Brooks School of Public Policy at Cornell University, and bachelors of science from the O'Neil School of Public and Environmental Affairs at Indiana University. 

I am a curious traveler, language enthusiast, small business owner and aspiring dog mom!
