I study how inequality is produced and reproduced across societies, and how communities respond to economic and institutional pressures. My work integrates comparative social policy, labor markets, and community development, with a focus on capacity building under conditions of inequality, crisis, and institutional change across diverse welfare and social systems.

I hold a PhD in Sociology focused 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 hold an MA in Survey Research and an MA in Sociology.
