about me

I am an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Louisiana State University. Prior to joining LSU, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Baker Institute Center for Health and Biosciences and the Department of Sociology at Rice University. I earned a PhD in Criminology, Law & Society at the University of California, Irvine and was a member of the Irvine Laboratory for the Study of Space and Crime (ILSSC). I earned a BA and an MA in Sociology from Bowling Green State University.

I am broadly interested in the production and consequences of spatial inequality in crime and criminal justice, housing, land use, and neighborhood change. My work is theoretically-driven and uses quantitative and spatial methods.

My published work can be found in journals such as the British Journal of Criminology, Social Science Research, The Professional Geographer, the Annual Review of Criminology, Journal of Quantitative Criminology, Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space, and Socius.
