Welcome! I am a first year Postdoctoral Associate at the University of Pittsburgh in the Department of Health Policy & Management. I am currently working and learning under the mentorship of Dr. Lindsay Sabik. Together, we are working on various projects relating to surgical care for rural cancer patients, as well as projects evaluating the role of hospice availability in the quality of end-of-life care for cancer patients. 

In 2024, I received my PhD in Economics from Wayne State University where my dissertation focused on changes in dietary habits following the COVID-19 pandemic. My dissertation advisors were Shooshan Danagoulian and Allen Goodman. My research contributes to the literature on long-term behavioral effects of policies during the pandemic, as well as to the public discourse on broad evaluations of nutrition. 

In addition, I also collaborate closely with Dr. Andria Eisman and ASPIRE Labs within Wayne State's Department of Kinesiology & Health Studies. We have evaluated the cost-effectiveness of various school-based interventions for mental health progress and drug prevention. We work with a variety of partners to implement and evaluate changes in student psychometric and drug-belief indicators following effective curriculum implementation. 

Outside of academia, I enjoy cooking, watching the Boston Celtics, and I am currently in marathon training! Thanks for checking out my website!
