Overview
My primary interests involve using longitudinal data and quantitative methods to investigate the pathways by which structural racism impacts health and aging. Some of these pathways include racial residential segregation, pollution exposure, nutrition access, and incarceration. My dissertation research examines the joint impacts of racial residential segregation and air pollution exposure on cognitive aging.
Prior to arriving at Duke, I earned my BA in sociology and psychology with minors in philosophy and gender studies from Stony Brook University.
