Hello! I am a Ph.D. candidate in Sociology at the University of Maryland, College Park. As a medical sociologist, family demographer, and inequality scholar, my areas of expertise include health and health disparities, race/ethnicity, gender, parenting, children, family, and quantitative methods. I have conducted research in the contexts of the U.S., India, and China.
My current research centers on how social inequalities in health and well-being are (re)produced within families and through workplace dynamics. One line of my work explores racial and socioeconomic inequalities in women's health and children’s outcomes. Another focus of my research is gender inequalities and women's well-being in India and China. I also study health inequalities based on sexual orientation and gender identity. I mainly apply quantitative methods, including structural equation modeling and causal inference techniques, to analyze cross-sectional and longitudinal data. My work has appeared (or is forthcoming) in American Sociological Review, Demography, Social Science & Medicine, Society and Mental Health, Feminist Economics, and others.
