I am a sociology, media, and politics scholar based in New York City.
I am currently an M.A. Media, Culture, and Communication student at New York University's Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. I am studying Media Industries and Politics + Global Media. My research interests include education policy, social stratification, and gender.
I am a graduate assistant for the College of Arts and Science at NYU where I work with the College Core Curriculum to serve undergraduate students and their foundational core studies for liberal arts. I previously worked as an integrated marketing strategist at an advertising agency and a graphic designer at a newspaper.
I received a B.A. Advertising & Political Science (Honors) from the University of Oregon. I earned a certificate in Politics, Law, and Justice, as well as Summa Cum Laude, Kappa Tau Alpha, and Political Science Departmental honors. My undergraduate thesis examined the impact of federal court intervention on disability education policy implementation in the United States.
