About Me

Born and raised amongst the haunting and majestic forests of the Pacific Northwest, I grew up skateboarding, causing trouble, and listening to punk rock records. I currently live in Portland, Oregon and do important research for the federal government.

Professionally, I am a seasoned qualitative researcher with almost a decade of experience conducting thoughtful and rigorous research with applied significance. I am committed to using data to inform policies, programs, and products at a variety of scales. My research practice is dedicated to using sound, sophisticated, and novel methodological techniques to answer emergent questions about human social behavior.

My most recent research looks at the intersections of organizational climate, diversity & inclusion, and how problematic workplace experiences influence outcomes within those organizations.

In graduate school, my commitment to help further social justice and provide the opportunity for better outcomes for historically marginalized groups was a key component of my research agenda. My doctoral dissertation looked at the ways rapid social and economic change impacted alternative dispute resolution practices within the non-profit sphere in the Bay Area.

I’m always happy to discuss research, fieldwork, skateboarding, street art and post-punk records. If you’re looking for a research collaborator, a jiujitsu partner, or just remember me from 10th grade biology, feel free to reach out!
