I am a fourth year PhD candidate in the Economic Sociology Program at MIT Sloan where I work with Nathan Wilmers. My research centers on the locus of culture, inequality, and class and racial segregation. In my masters thesis, I study differences between blue- and white-collar worker experiences of organizational culture. In coauthored work, I study cultural change in organizations after buyouts of those firms. My dissertation focuses on black-owned and black-managed organizations, consumer behavior, and entrepreneurship.
Before coming to MIT, I worked as a product manager in a Pittsburgh-based technology startup. As a Pittsburgh native, you can find me cheering for the Steelers and puzzling over the latest Tomlin-ism.
