​I am the incoming Pollman Postdoctoral Fellow in Real Estate and Urban Development at Harvard University's Graduate School of Design. I completed my PhD in geography at the University of Toronto. I also have an MA degree in Latin American Studies from UCLA and a BA in history from UC Berkeley. 

My research interests are regional economic development, migration, globalization, institutions and inequality. Specifically, I look at the ways in which migration, globalization and institutions shape the economic outcomes of people and places. 

I am a first-generation college student, was a community college transfer, and came into academia through an unconventional path. These experiences strongly inform my teaching, research and service approaches and interests.

Having positive mentorship has been instrumental to my success and in my free time, I work with a community organization called Stoked Mentoring that provides after school and weekend programming with an action sports focus for underserved high school and middle school students.
