Welcome! I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of Health Management & Policy at the University of Michigan where I specialize in Health Economics. My research interests include healthcare policy evaluation, maternal and child health, and health disparities and equity research.  I hold a BA in Biochemistry, a BA in Economics, and an MA in Economics all from Hunter College, City University of New York.

My latest paper “The Effects of School Shootings on Risky Behavior, Health, and Human Capital” with my coauthor Partha Deb is now available from the Journal of Population Economics.
