I am an assistant professor of sociology at New York University. I work on topics related to healthcare, culture, markets, and aging.

My book, Chasing Independence: Growing Old in the Shadow of an American Ideal, examines how the value of independence defines cultural expectations, medical interventions, and policy for aging and elder care in the United States. You can read articles from this project in the American Sociological Review, Theory and Society, and Social Science & Medicine.

My current research examines the new economy of health sharing platforms using interviews and digital ethnography.

I received my PhD in 2020 from The New School for Social Research; previously I worked as a journalist in Chile, where I grew up.
