• About

  As an undergraduate at UW-Madison I studied math, economics and philosophy. I’ve loved transitioning to sociology where I can employ quantitative and computational methods while immersing myself in different theoretical frameworks detailing the richness of social life. I am generally interested in the social natures of economic activity and organization as well as novel methodologies like network analysis and agent-based modeling. For the 2011-2012 school year, I am one of the SGS co-chairs.
