I study racial inequality and urban policy.

Hey there! I am a doctoral candidate of Sociology in the City, Culture, and Community program at Tulane University, where I am also a research fellow at the Center for the Gulf South. In my work, I bring a sociological lens to urban policy, examining the social dimensions of housing, neighborhood development, and commercial permitting. I am particularly interested in how these practices shape racial inequality. My work has been featured in academic and public venues such as American Sociological Review, Social Problems, City & Community, Housing Policy Debate, and Shelterforce. I am also a proud educator, and have spent the last three years teaching undergraduate Sociology courses at Tulane. To learn more about me and my work, check out the tabs above!
