Social Science Research Coordinator, Sociology
BioI am currently studying solutions to residential instability in Oakland at the Changing Cities Research Lab at Stanford. I spent the previous year as a Research Associate at the Stanford Center for Racial Justice, leading an initiative on alternative first response programs in the Bay Area. Previously, I graduated magna cum laude from the University of Chicago with a B.A. in Sociology with honors and a specialization in computational methods. All of my work is dedicated to my late parent Polly, who still inspires me to be a more empathetic, thoughtful, curious, and rigorous researcher every day. In my free time, I love to play chess in the park and write sci-fi.
