About

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Alberta. I completed my PhD at the University of Toronto in 2022. My research broadly focuses on work-family life, status inequality, and health. I am particularly interested in examining working conditions as social determinants of health and mental health, with a specific focus on how these dynamics change over time. One of my ongoing research projects draws on a longitudinal nationally-representative sample of Canadian workers to trace the ways that the COVID-19 pandemic altered the stress exposure in work-family life across social statuses and its impacts on workers’ health and well-being.
