About

I am a quantitative sociologist at Duke University specializing in gender, social psychology, and crime. My work generally explores the role of gender in framing meaning-making in interaction, particularly in criminal justice contexts. My projects explore topics such as gender in jury deliberation, attitudes towards female victims of gendered violence, gender congruence in interaction, and social exchange. I utilize my skills in survey and experimental design and quantitative analysis to provide novel insights in these areas.

I am also a dedicated educator who is passionate about revealing the value of sociology to students, pushing students to rethink the social "realities" they take for granted. My active approach to teaching focuses on fostering student engagement and creating equitable class practices and is receptive to the changing needs of my students.
