I am a sociologist of everyday life. I study how we can spend more of our time living. I am particularly interested in how structural inequalities can be addressed through socially responsible time use policies. My research research interests are focused on social demography, inequality, and the life course.

My work has been funded by Enterprise Ireland, UKRI's Economic and Social Research Council, the National Science Foundation, United States Agency for International Development, UC Berkeley's Canadian Studies Program, UC Berkeley's Social Sciences Data Laboratory, and by the Soros Fellowship for New Americans. I have collaborated with the Colchester City Council, the Barcelona Time Use Initiative for a Healthy Society, Eurofound, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, USAID, and the Berkeley Interdisciplinary Migration Initiative.

I am an Assistant Professor of Sociology at University College Dublin. I received my PhDs in Sociology and Demography from the University of California, Berkeley. I earned a BA in Sociology from the University of Colorado, Boulder.
