I received my Ph.D. in Sociology from Rutgers University in 2007. I also hold master’s and bachelor’s degrees in Sociology from Rutgers University. Prior to joining the Occidental College faculty in 2008, I was a visiting assistant professor of Sociology at Temple University.

Currently an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Occidental College in Los Angeles, California, I am deeply interested in food as a site for sociological exploration. My research, found in highly-regarded academic journals, involves the relationship between food, risk, trust, consumers and consumption.

In Fall 2013, I will teach Environmental Sociology (SOC285) and Sociological Inquiry (SOC304).
