Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Case Western Reserve University. My research interrogates how policy environments and social institutions reflect and reproduce inequities in health, well-being, and life chances. My scholarship has received funding support from the Russell Sage and Gates Foundations and has been published in peer-reviewed outlets including Social Forces, Demography, Journal of Health and Social Behavior, Social Science & Medicine, and International Migration Review, among others.
My current research:
explores the role of the U.S. immigration policy patchwork in shaping immigrant integration
uncovers inequities in the structure and delivery of U.S. health care
investigates how educational and occupational attainment affect the health and economic well-being of immigrants across the socioeconomic/"skills" spectrum
Prior to joining Case Western, I was an NIA T32 Postdoctoral Fellow in the Specialized Training Program in the Demography and Economics of Aging at the University of Chicago. I hold a PhD in Demography and Sociology (2022), an MA in Demography (2019), and a BA in Health and Societies (2016) from the University of Pennsylvania.
