Welcome! I am a postdoctoral fellow at University of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Education. My work currently follows a cohort of undergraduates to understand how gender, race, and socio-economic status influence academic predilections and course choices. I was previously a Dissertation Fellow at the Clayman Institute for Gender Research as well as the lab manager for the Pathways Research Lab. In prior years I was a middle school math/science teacher, math coach, and administrator in East San Jose, CA, and also spent several years as an instructor and administrator in higher education.
