Welcome! I am an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Southern California. I study family demography, gender inequality, education, and quantitative methods. 

One strand of my work explores the demographic implications of the rise of women's education relative to men in Latin America, particularly for union formation and within-household inequalities. A second strand focuses on the role of cultural beliefs about family and gender on assortative mating, the division of household labor, and students’ career choices.  Methodologically, I combine demographic and causal inference methods to analyze these topics, including computational tools and original data collected via survey experiments.

Before joining USC, I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science at the University of Oxford. I completed a Ph.D. in Sociology and Social Policy at Princeton University. My work has been published in Demography, Journal of Marriage and Family, Population Development and Review, and Sociological Methods and Research, among other outlets, and has received awards from the Development, Family, and Methodology sections of the American Sociological Association.
