I'm a sociologist who studies the body as a site of knowledge. My research examines how we clothe, move, and locate ourselves — and what those daily practices reveal about identity, belonging, and the social world we're always in the process of making.
The through line has never been a category. It's always been the question.
I'm a sociologist who studies the body as a site of knowledge — examining how we clothe, move, and locate ourselves, and what those daily practices reveal about identity, belonging, and the social world we're making together.
My research on sartorial labor — the identity work embedded in everyday dress — is under review at Symbolic Interaction and accepted for presentation at ASA 2026.
I work one on one with people who've always felt like they don't quite fit, through The Unbecoming Sessions — identity alignment work rooted in embodied self-knowledge.
