My research interests lie at the intersection of economic sociology, environmental sociology, political economy, and the sociologies of risk and morality. I examine how climate disasters are reshaping the landscape of property insurance in the US, and how they simultaneously reformulate social understandings of risk, protection, and compensation for loss.

Prior to joining the department, I received my B.A. from the University of Toronto in 2019, with majors in Sociology and Economics and a minor in Statistics. My work is supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.

My research was recently featured in an article by the Rackham Graduate School.
