Welcome! I am a second year Postdoctoral Associate at the University of Pittsburgh in the Department of Health Policy & Management. My work focuses on how payment structures and provider incentives shape care decisions for oncology patients. My 2025-2026 job market paper investigates how incentives in the Medicare Hospice Benefit's per-diem payment model impacts hospice care delivery. A draft of this work is linked here.

I received my PhD in Economics from Wayne State University in 2024 where my dissertation focused on changes in dietary behaviors following the COVID-19 pandemic. I maintain an affiliation with ASPIRE Labs within Wayne State's Department of Kinesiology & Health Studies, where we study cost-effectiveness of school-based interventions for mental health and drug prevention. 

My research agenda focuses on evaluating healthcare payment reform and policies that influence provider behavior and patient outcomes in end-of-life care. 

Outside of academia, I enjoy cooking, cheering for the Boston Celtics, and I am preparing for a spring marathon!
