Her research centers on consumerism and sustainability, with a particular focus on the motivational processes of identity within society. She graduated with top honors from the Fashion Studies MA at Parsons; her thesis, Consuming Desire, Deconstructing the Strip Show Hunk was featured in LOOP: Parsons Alumni Exhibition, 2016.
