I am an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Case Western Reserve University. My research explores how systemic oppression shapes our policy environments and social institutions, resulting in racial and nativity inequities in health, well-being, and life chances. My work has been published in peer-reviewed outlets including Social Forces, Demography, Social Science & Medicine, Sociology of Health and Illness, and International Migration Review, among others. 

My current research agenda follows three lines of inquiry: 1) how the structure and delivery of U.S. health care contributes to population health inequities; 2) how the U.S. immigration policy patchwork shapes the integration and well-being of immigrants across the socioeconomic spectrum; and 3) how place of education (i.e., whether one holds a foreign or U.S. educational credential) serves as an axis of stratification shaping the labor market outcomes of highly-educated immigrants.  

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.
