About
I study how inequality is produced and reproduced across societies, and how communities respond to economic and institutional pressures. My work brings together comparative social policy, labor markets, and community development to understand how people navigate inequality, opportunity, and mobility in different social systems.
I hold a PhD in Sociology with a focus on social inequality and transnational sociology, and a PhD in Community Development specializing in community capacity building, sustainable development, and applied community-based policy analysis. I also completed postdoctoral research training and hold an MA in Survey Research and an MA in Sociology.
