Hello! I’m a second year in the department. My research interests include families, emotions, race and oppression and I’m currently completing a qualitative Master’s thesis. When I’m not working, I like to practice piano, explore nature and play with my cat. I can answer broad questions about the department or Columbus, but I’m also a queer woman of color and can speak to those experiences as well. If needed, I’ll happily connect you to colleagues who can also provide their valuable perspectives. Please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Hi potential colleague! I’m in my third year here at Ohio State University’s Sociology department and would be happy to answer any questions you might have about the program or the city. As a researcher, I am interested in topics surrounding stratification, education, migration, identity, and demography. If your research interests lie elsewhere, I could still suggest other avenues for information. As a resident of Columbus, I enjoy playing soccer, exploring the city’s restaurants and nightlife, having game nights with friends, and trying other outdoors activities (hiking, kayaking, skiing, napping, etc.) I hope your graduate school search is going well and that you find a place that works for you!
