Hello!
I am a postdoc at the University of California San Francisco where I work with Dr. Anusha Vable on projects that investigate the role of population-wide policies on impacting later life cognitive outcomes. I recently completed my Ph.D. in Population Health Sciences (Global Health and Population) from Harvard, where my dissertation focused on the social and environmental determinants of adverse birth outcomes and infant mortality in the United States. I also worked on issues surrounding out of pocket expenditures, costs associated with non-communicable and communicable diseases, and family planning interventions.
I have a BA in Political Science and Mathematics from Williams College and a SM in Global Health and Population from the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health. I have worked as a researcher at the Economic Policy Research Institute in Cape Town, South Africa, where I conducted impact evaluations and feasibility analyses of cash transfer programs.
