I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Sociology, Wilfrid Laurier University. I teach courses on quantitative methods and globalization. I previously worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Stanford University. I hold a Ph.D. in Sociology and a Master’s degree in Economics.

My research is broadly focused on political sociology, sociology of organization, political economy and policy-relevant research. Particularly, I am interested in using quantitative methods to examine the power dynamics underlying different social settings, including organizations, networks, and global society. I have published a book and multiple papers on NGOs in authoritarian China, nonprofit leaders’ power, and human rights in developing countries.
