My work aims to advance public health by generating tools and evidence to inform program and policy decision making. I have developed a research program to support this mission that emphasizes applying a variety of decision science methods such as stated preference methods, economic evaluation, simulation modeling, and other decision analysis approaches. I am also trained in systems thinking, biostatistics, network analysis, health services research, and econometrics. Substantively, my research program spans multiple areas of chronic disease prevention; my current projects relate to weight management and tobacco use.
I am a research associate at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health. I am currently funded by a K99 via the National Cancer Institute. Prior to that funding, I was a cancer prevention postdoc fellow at the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health. I'm mentored by Doug Levy, Karen Emmons, Davene Wright, and Kristen Hass miller Lich. I also held a Pyle Fellowship working with Dr. Davene Wright in the Department of Population Medicine/Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Institute.
I completed my PhD in 2021 in Health Policy and Management at UNC Chapel Hill in the Gillings School of Global Public Health, under the direction of Leah Frerichs. Before that, I earned my MS in Biostatistics, also from UNC Chapel Hill.
