Biography
I am a second-year doctoral student at the University of Cincinnati. I graduated from the University of Massachusetts-Boston with a MA in applied sociology and have published my master’s thesis titled, “The Disadvantage of a Sex-Segregated Labor Market: Sex Composition and the Availability of Work-Family Benefits,†in the Journal of Family Studies. My primary research interest includes sociological investigation of sex education programs and the gendered discourses they promote. While studying I hope to gain additional research experience, publish, and continue to teach at the college level. Ultimately, I hope to secure a teaching position after graduation.
Research Interest
