About Me

Curriculum Vitae

I am an Associate Professor of Health Economics and Economic Evaluation at the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health in the Department of International Health. I also serve as the Director of the Economics & Finance team at the International Vaccine Access Center.  In this capacity, I lead projects to quantify the health, economic, and equity impacts of infectious diseases, healthcare interventions, and public health policy, globally. For this work, I was recognized in 2020 as one of Forbes 30 Under 30 in the healthcare category. 

Prior to my faculty appointment at Johns Hopkins University, I served as Senior Economist in the office of HIV/AIDS at USAID's Global Health Bureau and was a post-doctoral researcher in global health economics at Harvard University. My research interests are broadly in the sub-fields of behavioral economics, development economics (micro), econometrics, infectious disease dynamic modeling, and decision sciences.  I am particularly interested in the long-term and external impacts of health interventions in low- and middle-income countries as well as the behavioral underpinnings of health-related preferences. 

I hold a doctoral degree in Global Health Economics from Harvard and have previously completed an MA in Development Economics from Boston University as well as a BA in International Economics from Boston College. Prior to completing doctoral studies, I was a research fellow at the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future and worked as an economic research consultant for both Médecins Sans Frontières and the Aspen Institute of Romania: Romania Gateway Project.
