About
Woman. Friend. Daughter. Scholar. Armchair activist. Hell-raiser. Not particularly in that order.
As a PhD student in sociology I employ mixed methods to examine why students choose for-profit colleges, if for-profit credentials are socially construed as legitimate, and what these interactions means for social mobility and labor outcomes across and within national contexts.
I’m also very fond of Dolly Pardon, fancy coffee, juicing, brunch, 90s hip-hop, bacon, and the Delta blues.
