Hi! I'm a first-year grad student in Berkeley's sociology department. I'm interested in how culture, and especially morality, can be used to reinforce and reinvent conventional social boundaries, including class and race. I also love snowboarding, sewing, and being outside.

For my main project, I will be working on the Reservation poverty article. Here are some sources I am consulting:
