Welcome! 

I am a second year PhD student in Sociology at Cornell University interested in the political and legal determinants of health among transgender and gender-nonconforming (TGNC) individuals. Specifically, I am currently researching how anti-trans legislation impacts self-reported physical and mental health among TGNC individuals, as well as how said legislation might bias population-representative data on TGNC Americans. I use both quantitative and qualitative methods to study these topics, and am especially interested in how health might be shaped by anti-trans legislation across age-cohorts. 

I am additionally interested in building a deeper understanding of the methodologies utilized by social scientists, how different methods alter the way academics ask questions and interpret their findings, and how sociologists harness causal inference to study social phenomena. 

Feel free to e-mail me if you have questions or want to chat.
