I am a SSRC Criminal Justice Innovation Postdoctoral Fellow at the Jeb E. Books School of Public Policy at Cornell University.

I received my Ph.D. in economics from the University of California-Irvine. Before joining Cornell, I was a postdoctoral research fellow at Northeastern University.

I work in the fields of crime and public economics, with a particular focus on gendered criminal justice and racial bias in policing. Currently, I am studying the consequences of nuisance property ordinances on crime reporting and domestic violence, the racial bias in policing and prosecuting drug offenses and sex work, and how specialization in domestic violence court impacts decision making and re-victimization.
