Current research project: My research primarily covers K-12 and higher education policy, especially policies centered around equitable access and outcomes. I have been on the University-Assisted Community Schools Bass Connections (and Data+) team— a partnership between Duke, North Carolina Central, and the Durham Public Schools Foundation focused on strengthening partnerships between local universities and Durham schools— for over 2 years. I also work as a researcher on various topics related to academic support for Duke undergraduates in the office of the Trinity College Dean of Academic Affairs including service-learning, undergraduate research, URM/FGLI inclusion, and more. Outside of education, I conduct research on state lotteries under Prof. Charles Clotfelter and previously researched mass incarceration in the Deep South under Prof. Adriane Fresh.
Post-Duke plans: After Duke, I plan to work in higher education policy and/or research. While I do not know exactly what my post-Duke future entails, I look forward to expanding upon the research topics I have studied in my time at Duke.
