I’m a senior researcher at the Vera Institute of Justice, where I’m leading a study on the impact of paternal incarceration on mothers’ labor market outcomes as part of the Incarceration and Inequality Project. Prior to that, I was an IDEAL Provostial Fellow at Stanford University, where I studied pretrial risk assessments and social inequality. I completed my PhD in information science at Cornell University, where I was fortunate to be advised by Karen Levy, Solon Barocas, and Martin Wells.

My interest in criminal legal systems, race/ism, and inequality arose while working at the New York City Department of Education to re-engage out-of-school youth and volunteering for the Dignity in Schools Campaign, a national coalition working to dismantle the school-to-prison pipeline.

I also have a master’s in public policy from the University of California, Berkeley and work experience with a variety of organizations, including Data 4 Black Lives and Crime Lab New York. My research has been supported by the Microsoft Research Ada Lovelace Fellowship, the MacArthur Foundation, UCLA’s Center for Critical Internet Inquiry, and the Horowitz Foundation for Social Policy.
