About Me

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology, and I am currently enrolled in the MA program in Sociology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. My research interests encompass a range of critical societal issues. Firstly, I am interested in exploring the intersection between violent victimization and health outcomes, with a specific focus on adolescents and older adults. Additionally, I am dedicated to investigating socioeconomic inequalities and their profound impact on health and overall well -being. Equally compelling to me are the inequalities within education and position social dimensions of STEM fields. These areas collectively drive my academic pursuits and underscore my commitment to making meaningful contributions to sociological research and discourse.


Ultimately, this graduate program offers a networking platform, mentorship, and access to valuable resources that I, as well as incoming graduate students, can take advantage of. These opportunities can pave the way for career advancement and enhance overall significance.
