Hello! I am the Marilyn J. Gittell Postdoctoral Fellow in Urban Studies at the CUNY Graduate Center, where I help run the Gittell Urban Studies Collective. As a sociologist, I study political economy and institutional change, focusing on urban power, tax politics, and redistribution in and through U.S. cities.

My work has been supported by the Center for Engaged Scholarship and the Society for the Advancement of Socio-Economics. 

I earned my M.A. and Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Washington in Seattle, and my B.A. in Sociology from Boğaziçi University in İstanbul.
