ABOUT ME
In 2021, I received my Bachelor of Arts (B.A) in Sociology with a minor in sociocultural anthropology at the University of California, Davis. Following, I received my Master of Arts (M.A.) degree in Sociology at the University of Houston in 2023. Currently, I am a third-year Ph.D. student in Sociology at Rice University, located in Houston, Texas, co-advised by Drs. Rachel Kimbro and Elizabeth Roberto. My research specialization is in quantitative research methodology, spatial analysis, demography, and population health. At Rice University, I am a Graduate Student Ambassador and 2025-2026 Center for Computational Insights on Inequality and Society Graduate Student Fellowship awardee. In the Department of Sociology, I am the student organizer for the Spatial Processes and City Environments working group and member of the Sociologists Talking about Population Health (STAPH) and Quantitative Methodology working groups.
Sourdough Sociologists
Alongside my research on spatial inequality and health, I co-run a creative project called Sourdough Sociologists — a small public-facing space where two Ph.D. students explore the overlap between fermentation and academic life.
