About Me:

I am currently a third year student in the sociology PhD program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. My research and teaching interests include education, quantitative methods, race/ethnicity, and stratification. In general, I'm interested in what occurs in schools that contributes to inequality. I'm currently working on a number of projects in various stages. Click on the Research link to the left for more information.

Non-academic interests (yes, they do exist!) include music, hiking, biking, and running. I love doing things outdoors, but being a graduate student gives me little time to do anything but look at a computer screen. I enjoy being active. I bike to school and run just about everyday. I have completed a few half-marathons in the past and I hope to start training for a full marathon this fall/winter. Music is my passion; although I don't play anymore, I attend shows quite often.
