Professional Summary
I am a third year PhD student in the Department of Sociology. My scholarly interests include urban sociology, criminology, demography, and quantitative methods. I am currently working on two projects: one examines the influence of neighborhood context on traffic stop outcomes in Cincinnati, OH, while the other investigates changes in the relationship between place, affordable rent, and homelessness across the country.
