2021–Present
PhD Candidate, Sociology
University of Toronto
My research examines how family, social networks, race, organizations, cultural capital, and institutional volatility work together to create conditions through which some families are better positioned to turn uncertainty into opportunity.
I am a PhD candidate in sociology at the University of Toronto. I am currently in the advanced stages of my doctoral research, writing my dissertation proposal while collecting and analyzing data.
My work spans research, teaching, and applied project development. I have taught Sociology of Education, worked as a teaching assistant across sociology courses, and currently support students as a Learning Strategist. I also bring experience in research assistance, curriculum development, program evaluation, consulting, and project management, including earlier work in facilities and operations that continues to shape how I think about organizations and systems.
