About Me

I’m a graduate student in the Department of Sociology at the University of Washington. My research broadly examines the relationships between poverty governance, neighborhood change, and placemaking in urban spaces. My current projects investigate the policing of homelessness, and my scholarship has appeared in Social Problems.

I previously worked for a street outreach program in North Carolina, helping people sleeping unsheltered access permanent housing and avoid criminal legal involvement. Prior to this position, I explored peer-based initiatives addressing homelessness around the globe.
