About Me
I'm a PhD candidate in the Sociology Department at Stanford University, as well as a Fellow at the Lane Center for the Study of the American West. I received my JD from Stanford Law School in 2011. My research and teaching interests include criminal law and procedure, evidence, legal consciousness, sociology of gender, and qualitative research methods.
I'm working on several projects, including a study of California parole commissioners and a study of rights consciousness in criminal procedure. My dissertation focuses on legal consciousness, localism, and masculinity in Hawaiian cockfighting.
While in graduate school, my work experiences have included Stanford's Supreme Court Litigation Clinic, the Federal Defender's Office (NDCA), and the Stanford Criminal Justice Center. I've had the pleasure of working closely with several mentors whose scholarship and teaching I greatly admire, particularly Bob Weisberg, Pam Karlan, Joan Petersilia, George Fisher, Larry Marshall, Shelley Correll, Monica McDermott, and Becky Sandefur.
