I am an urban researcher, homelessness advocate, and data analyst. My research interests include housing, transportation, big-data analysis techniques, and socioeconomic mobility. I have always had a passion for these topics, but my interest was fully piqued in undergrad when I took an Urban Sociology course. After graduating, I relocated to Atlanta, GA and began working at the Zaban Paradies Center as the Performance Manager. Currently, I am the Dissemination Associate at the Wilson Sheehan Lab for Economic Opportunities at the University of Notre Dame. Both of these positions have allowed me combine my love for data analysis with a real-world impact.

Originally from Upstate South Carolina, I graduated cum laude from Furman University in 2022 with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Poverty Studies. In 2026, I received my Master of Science in Urban Analytics from the School of City & Regional Planning at the Georgia Institute of Technology. My academic background, career path, and problem solving skills provide a unique perspective for how I address problems in our ever-changing world.

Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, cooking, and music. I recently relocated to Chicago, IL and am perpetually planning my next trip or recipe to try.
