Welcome.

I'm thrilled to be here at UC Davis! I bring extensive experience as a teaching assistant of sociology and education courses at UC Davis and CSU Sacramento, and as a core adjunct professor at National University. My research explores issues of gender equity, like women's representation in academic publications and leadership. I use a mix of quantitative, qualitative, and computational methods in my work, which has been published in peer-reviewed journals. I've presented my findings at numerous academic conferences as well. I'm currently pursuing my PhD in Sociology at UC Davis, where I get to immerse myself in research, teaching, and learning full-time. As someone navigating life with autism, I'm deeply passionate about diversity, equity, and inclusion. With my robust teaching background and dedication to research, I'm eager to instruct and conduct studies in my areas of expertise. I'm so grateful for this opportunity and look forward to collaborating!

For my students, I am a student parent, a first gen student, I'm neurodiverse, was a transfer student, and I worked full time while putting myself through undergrad. If you identify with any of those things and want to talk about those experiences, have questions, want advice, or need to vent, come see me in my office hours. It took me nine years to get my B.A., but I did it. Now I'm here. I took a weird life path and have ideas that might help you navigate yours.
