I received my Bachelors in sociology and seligion from Emory University in 2009. During my tenure at Emory I became interested in globalization and the many processes and flows it has created while working under Frank Lechner. Upon graduation I moved to Germany where I was the recipient of a Fulbright teaching fellowship. After a Fulbright year teaching English at a vocational school in Germany I moved to Washington DC and am now a PhD student at the University of Maryland, where my interests in globalization have focused on gentrification. Additionally, I am hoping to specialize in demography and stratification, which I believe offer the proper skill set to study the many changes gentrification brings to the urban landscape.
