About me

I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the sociology department at the Graduate Center, City University of New York, with a focus on gender, disability, medical sociology, and science and technology studies. The core of my scholarship is to question how knowledge about marginalized groups is produced and how it is sustained and used by our social institutions. My dissertation explores how prevailing conceptions about autistic and transgender people combined with the neoliberal structures of the medical/mental health systems come to affect whether and how autistic trans people access gender-affirming medical care.

I also work as an Program Evaluation Specialist for the CUNY Nurse Fellowship Academy, jointly run by the CUNY School of Professional Studies and the CUNY Office of Health and Human Services.

I hold a masters degree in gender studies from the London School of Economics and Political Science, and a bachelors degree in sociology from the University of Westminster.
