Community-based Research

Social-Behavioral Research

I use my expertise in research methodologies to work with the organizations invested in the community. I am particularly invested in partnering with folks that are supporting underserved communities through coalition building and policy advocacy.

I am guided by the tenets of participatory action research to center the needs and desired outcomes of stakeholders who have the most to benefit from thoughtful research. have partnered with nonprofit organizations to include (formerly) incarcerated people in equity-centered research as well as first-generation college students.

I have a deep curiosity for understanding how individuals behave, how this is influenced by the surrounding culture, and how we can use this information to reveal and remedy damaging ideologies.

My expertise in behavioral sciences is multi-disciplinary, and I am trained at the intersection of anthropology, sociology, and linguistics. In my research, I explore people's perceptions of language, people, and systems. I also work with data in the wild to examine patterns of behavior.
