I'm a PhD candidate at UC Berkeley. My dissertation is titled "Worker Satisfaction on Digital Platforms" and focused on how individuals experience remote and digital-form forms of work, and how these jobs fit in with their lives. I've also thought about contemporary forms of community, at different scales. I'm dedicated to transmitting sociological thinking and knowledge to future generations.

One of publications The Globalization of an Interaction Ritual Chain: “Clapping for Carers” During the Conflict Against COVID-19 was published in Sociology of Religion, with Alexandre Rigal.

Before coming to UC Berkeley, I completed a master's in sociology at École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (in 2018) and received my bachelor's from Yale University (in 2014).
