Educational Background
I graduated from the University of Edinburgh in 2017 with an MA (hons.) in English Literature and History focusing on postcolonial studies. I then completed an MA (Cand. Mag.) in Advanced Migration Studies at the University of Copenhagen in 2019, writing an ethnographic thesis on the sanctuary movement in the United States of America and sub-national immigration policy. I received an MA in Sociology from Rice University in 2022, using data from the National Center for Education Statistics' Early Childhood Longitudinal Survey to write a thesis on the impact of food insecurity on school experiences and outcomes for young children with foreign-born mothers. In 2023, I completed a graduate certificate in teaching and learning at Rice University's Center for Teaching Excellence.
In December 2025, I completed my PhD at Rice University. My dissertation was titled "Immigrant experiences of healthcare and medical practice in Spain: concerning harm in sexual and reproductive healthcare, the accumulation of advantage and reinterpretation of care, and coloniality as a determinant of health". The first chapter from my dissertation was published in Social Science & Medicine, the second chapter has been published in Journal of Health and Social Behavior.
