I am interested in academic job opportunities (to start Summer/Fall 2025).

I earned my Ph.D. in Human Development and Social Policy at Northwestern’s School of Education and Social Policy in June 2024, with support from the National Academy of Education/Spencer Foundation Dissertation Fellowship. Currently, I am a postdoctoral fellow at Northwestern University in the School of Education and Social Policy. I am a proud co-organizer of the Quant for What? Collective.

In my mixed-methods research, I consider mismatches between promises and realities of education and policy. I ‘follow the money’ in projects that fit into a spiral of documenting realities in resource distribution, understanding decision-making processes underlying that distribution, and charting pathways toward new, more equitable realities.

I root my pedagogical approach in centering care, fostering community, and creating stable learning environments that allow for muddling and generative struggle with material. I have been an adjunct professor for a master’s level introduction to economics of education topics, an instructor for a doctoral seminar historicizing and challenging culture of poverty theorizing in education policy spheres, and a teaching assistant for undergraduate and graduate statistical methods courses.

I like making and eating delicious food, composing limericks, and playing/coaching/watching soccer.
