I’m an Assistant Professor in the departments of economics and health studies at American University.
My research interests lie at the intersection of health, family, and gender economics. Specifically, I am interested in topics surrounding maternal and reproductive health including:
External factors influence on pregnancy
Downstream effects of changes in abortion policy
Parents change in healthcare use post childbirth
Beyond my research, I am passionate about peer mentorship and diversifying the field of economics.
