I am a Joint PhD candidate in Public Policy at Georgia State University (Andrew Young School of Policy Studies) and Georgia Institute of Technology (Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School of Public Policy). I am on the 2026-2027 academic job market.

My research focuses on health policy and health economics. I study how public policy, financing decisions, and health system characteristics influence healthcare access, utilization, and outcomes, particularly among populations with complex healthcare needs. My work has been published in JAMA Pediatrics and Health Services Research. Currently, I use quasi-experimental methods and large administrative datasets to investigate substance and opioid use disorders, population health, and treatment utilization.

Outside of my research, I am an avid bubble tea reviewer🧋; my current A-list recommendations include HeyTea and MollyTea.
