I am a Ph.D. student in sociology at Yale University. My main research interest concerns examining the role of culture in facilitating social reproduction—and conversely, social mobility—with a particular focus on these mechanisms within educational institutions. I take a mixed-methods approach to tackle my research questions.

My current project draws on 70 in-depth interviews with students at a large research university to explore class-based disparities in how students engage with their professors. It seeks to address why larger universities could have a positive effect on equalizing student outcomes.

I hold an Honours Bachelor’s and a Master's degree in Sociology from the University of Toronto, St. George.
