Welcome!

I am a labor and health economist based at the Center for Food Allergy & Asthma Research, part of the Institute for Public Health and Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine. My research develops and applies quantitative methods to study how public policies and social environments shape labor markets, access to care, and health outcomes. Broadly, my work aims to inform evidence-based policies that promote economic opportunity and population well-being.

I earned my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee (2023).
