Interests: I am broadly interested in topics that affect low- to moderate-income individuals and families. I pursue research questions that can influence Federal, state, and/or local policy decisions aimed at improving our communities, particularly those that are marginalized. My current research focuses on the prevalence and prevention of rental housing evictions.
