Biography
I received a Ph.D. in Sociology with a concentration in Demography and Population Health from Florida State University in 2006. I came to Lehman College in 2009, following a postdoc at the Carolina Population Center, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
I conduct research situated within the social demography of families and well-being that employs a variety of quantitative and qualitative methodologies. My work focuses on lesser studied groups and the implications of less common or devalued experiences relative to what is typical or expected at a given stage of the life course in the context of US society.
The courses I have taught include: Fundamentals of Sociology (SOC166), Sociology of Stress and Health (SOC221), Sociology of the Family (SOC227), Population and Society (SOC319), Immigration and Adaptation (SOC320), and Quantitative Analysis of Sociological Data (SOC345).
