About
Computational social scientist and research data scientist.
I develop quantitative methods and study social inequality.
Research
Postdoctoral Associate, CITIES Research Institute.
At New York University Abu Dhabi, I study how racial segregation changes as people move through cities. I use mobile-phone location records and Census demographics to estimate segregation throughout the day and examine the relationship between racial boundaries and travel patterns.
I have also worked on intergenerational mobility and coauthored research on the relationship between climate change and migration.
Background
From emergency care to computational social science.
I worked as a paramedic for five years. I studied sociology at the University of South Dakota, with minors in physics and business analytics, before earning an M.A. at UNC Charlotte and a Ph.D. at Cornell University, where I was affiliated with the Center for the Study of Inequality.
I taught EMT certification courses at Sanford Health and quantitative analysis at UNC Charlotte.
