New Role and Project

As of mid-January, I’m excited to share that I’ve begun a new role in the Institutional Research Office at MIT. My work focuses on exploring the concept of belonging in higher education—what it means, how it is experienced, and the factors that shape it. At a time when many grapple with loneliness and isolation, this research feels more urgent than ever. I’m eager to engage with colleagues at MIT and across the broader academic community to deepen our collective understanding of belonging and its implications.
