Hi! My name is Camron and I am a first year GRF. I am currently a third year PhD student in the Sociology department and my research interests are race, gender, and identity construction. Before coming to Cornell, I was a Resident Assistant for two years so I love working with undergraduate students. Outside of school, I enjoy running, documentaries, board games, and crafts!
