About Me

I am currently a doctoral student at The Graduate Center, CUNY in New York City. I work part-time as research associate with LMIS at the Center for Urban Research in CUNY.  I am also a Digital Publics Fellow for the Center for Humanities for 2017-2019, where I’ll be working on building a website that centralizes all the information and resources for rent regulation in New York City.

My dissertation research is focused on understanding the  how the underwriting of mortgages has impacted ethnic neighborhoods in urban areas across the country.
