I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Toronto, where I am also a faculty affiliate at the Global Migration Lab and the Centre for Global Social Policy. I received my Ph.D. in Sociology (with minor in Statistics and Data Science) from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2023.
As a sociologist and demographer, I am broadly interested in inequalities by immigration status and in the aging process. I am the Principal Investigator (PI) of an ongoing NIH R21-funded project that explores the link between immigrant integration and later-life health.
I was honored to receive the ASA Award for Distinguished Contribution to Scholarship in Population (2024) for my work on U.S. immigrants' reversed economic assimilation in later life. You can read the article in the journal Social Forces, or read a summary of findings in The Conversation.
