​
​​I am an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Florida State University. My research examines how individuals navigate educational organizations and labor market institutions to better understand stratification and social mobility outcomes with particular emphasis on gender inequality.  My research agenda is motivated by changes to the economy that make jobs and careers less stable while simultaneously increasing the cost of higher education. I investigate how these two forces shape individuals’ career tracks and higher education decision-making with a focus on intersecting inequalities, including gender, race, and class. 

My first book, Major Trade-Offs: The Surprising Truths about College Majors and Entry-level Jobs is in press and will be released May 2025.
