I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate with the Alliance for Identity-Inclusive Computing Education (AiiCE) at Duke University. My research interests include the areas of racial inequality, social networks, higher education, and knowledge creation. Currently, my research focuses on how racialized networks in computer science disproportionately advantage whites and leads to racialized knowledge production and legitimization. I received a B.S. in Mathematics from Longwood University in 2012, an M.S. in Sociology with graduate minors in Mathematics and Statistics from Iowa State University in 2015, and a Ph.D. in Sociology from Duke University in 2022.
