Hello! I am a research scientist on the Demography and Survey Science team at Meta.
I received my Ph.D. in sociology from Harvard University in 2023, where I was also an affiliate of the Institute for Quantitative Social Sciences (IQSS) and the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies. I have over 8 years of experience working on data-intensive projects—both alone and as a part of teams—performing every aspect of the data analysis process, including: collecting, cleaning, and managing data, performing statistical analyses, creating clear narratives with intuitive visualizations, and communicating insights through peer-reviewed publications and presentations at national conferences. I love finding creative ways to leverage data and building tools to help facilitate research workflows.
My academic research relied on large-scale surveys and text data to draw insights about politics, culture, and social change in the United States and Western Europe. My work has appeared in several top peer-reviewed journals and has been covered by news outlets, such as the New York Times, New Yorker, and Washington Post.
