I use data analysis and visualization to examine how social, economic, and policy conditions vary across populations, places, and institutions. My work draws on public and administrative data to identify patterns in areas such as employment, economic security, housing, inequality, migration, and demographic change.
I am particularly interested in how decisions about measurement, classification, aggregation, and comparison shape what data reveal and what they can obscure.

Black Migrants and Migration
This data brief provides the first comprehensive statistical portrait of Ohio’s Black immigrant communities. Using ACS estimates, it highlights population growth, citizenship trends, housing and employment patterns, linguistic diversity, and the geographic distribution of more than 90,000 Black immigrants across the state. It challenges long-standing gaps in data and visibility while grounding demographic patterns within deeper histories of migration, community formation, and racialized exclusion.
Beyond Borders: Confronting Transnational Violence Against Black Immigrants
This white paper examines the intersecting forms of political, racial, gender-based, and structural violence experienced by Black migrants across their migration journeys—from countries of origin to transit routes to U.S. borders and detention systems. Combining literature, global datasets, and expert interviews, it exposes how anti-Blackness shapes migration governance and calls for structural transformation grounded in care, protection, and human rights.
