Hi there!

I’m an interdisciplinary sociologist, PhD candidate in Sociology & Gender Studies at Yale University, and will be joining Sarah Lawrence College as an incoming Assistant Professor in Fall 2026.

Situated at the intersection of gender and sexuality studies, medical sociology, disability studies, feminist science and technology studies (STS), and transgender studies, I use qualitative and queer/feminist methods to examine how fluctuating bodies and shifting borders produce social consequences in the U.S. and transnationally.

My research and teaching explore the racialized and gendered social, cultural, and historical forces that shape reproductive politics and the family.

My two most recent articles reflect my core interests in race, reproduction, and state power.

• In Signs, I analyze distinct forms of reproductive coercion targeting Latina migrants across two political eras.

• In Feminist Theory, I explore the limits and possibilities of contemporary reproductive discourse and propose a transfeminist approach to pregnancy.

You can find a full list of my publications here.
