I received my PhD in sociology from the University of Michigan in 2025 and am currently a Postdoctoral Associate at the University of Florida. I work with Drs. Tali Kristal and Edo Navot on projects about workplaces and wage inequality in the U.S. and cross-nationally.

In my research, I use quantitative methods to study inequality and insecurity in the United States. I examine how changing household dynamics contribute to new patterns of stratification. I also investigate state governments’ role in shaping distributive outcomes.
