I am an assistant professor in the sociology department at Oklahoma State University. Using a broad array of data (e.g., prospective surveys, time-use diaries, geo-coded mortality records, neuroimaging phenotypes), my research examines issues related to health, aging, and social connectedness. My main aim is to draw attention to the importance of social context by exploring the types of communities, social networks, and families within which individuals are embedded. My work has appeared in outlets such as Social Science & Medicine, Sociology of Health & Illness, Journals of Gerontologyand Social Networks.
