I'm an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Villanova University. Prior to joining Villanova, I was a Postdoctoral Associate at the MIT Sloan School of Management (where I worked with Dr. Georg Rilinger) and the Schwarzman College of Computing during the 2025-2026 academic year.  I earned my Ph.D. in Sociology from Boston University in 2025.

Using semi-structured interviews and participant observation, I have conducted research projects exploring how technology transforms work, how platforms reshape worker commitment and control over people's work, and how cultural intermediaries contribute to social inequalities through their evaluation of influence in the creator economies.  

My work has been supported by the American Sociological Association’s Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement Grant and two internal fellowships awarded by Boston University. My research has been published in journals such as the Socio-Economic Review, Poetics, and Work & Occupations, and featured in ASA's Economic Sociology Section Newsletter.
