I am a PhD candidate in sociology and a National Science Foundation Graduate Fellow at UC Berkeley. My primary interests lie at the intersection of environmental social science and the sociology of work and labor. I'm a graduate affiliate in the Berkeley Economy and Society Initiative's Climate Cluster. I'm also a member of the Extractive University Project, a group of University of California sociologists studying the public university from the standpoint of the labor process of graduate student workers. You can learn more about this work, which has been published in Work and Occupations, at our website: extractive-uni.net

I have also studied the internal politics of labor unions and racial and class formation in labor. Prior to beginning my doctoral studies, I worked as a research coordinator at NYU’s Department of Population Health, where I managed two projects studying community-level chronic disease prevention and management.
