I'm an assistant professor (research) of health policy and management at the University of Southern California (USC) Sol Price School of Public Policy and a scholar at the USC Schaeffer Institute for Public Policy & Government Service. I'm an applied microeconomist specializing in health and labor economics, with a diverse range of research interests unified by the goal of informing public policy decisions that foster societal well-being. My current research focuses on: 

• The impact of chronic diseases on the economic wellbeing of individuals and families

• The long-term societal value of chronic disease prevention and management strategies

I received my PhD in economics from USC in 2024 and BS in economics from Tulane University in 2015. Prior to my current role, I worked in academic and government research settings including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Labor, and the Center for Economic and Social Research.
