Bio
My research is broadly focused on understanding work and life course inequalities in the United States, particularly as they occur during the transition to adulthood and among individuals with disabilities. My research on work includes both paid employment and other forms of productivity that may not be compensated in the market - including care work, housework, and volunteering. I'm also interested in understanding young adults' early labor force participation and the factors that promote future employment.
