I am currently a Research Excellence Doctoral Fund Fellow and Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Sociology at Syracuse University. My research interests span disability, aging and the life course, medical sociology, social policy, health and mortality, gender, and qualitative and mixed methods. My dissertation, titled “Adulting while Disabled,” focuses on how young adults with disabilities obtain support and navigate barriers during the transition to adulthood. Recruitment is ongoing, so please navigate to the dissertation page for details on the project and an opportunity to participate.
My independent and collaborative academic work appears in Annals of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine, Oxford Handbook on the Sociology of Disability, Research in Social Science and Disability, Preventive Medicine Reports, BMJ:OPEN, Journal of Intellectual Disability Research, Disability and Health Journal, and the Lerner Center for Public Health Promotion of Syracuse University Research Brief Series. Professor Madonna Harrington Meyer is my advisor, and you can find our co-authored chapter, Medicaid: Politics, Policy, and Key Issues.
