I am a PhD-trained economist who studies interpersonal violence and alcohol and substance use among adolescents and young adults with a focus on the role of incentives, decision-making, and health policy. To date, I have broadly specialized in the use of quasi-experimental and causal inferences methods to evaluate the impact of health and other public policies on health outcomes.
I received my PhD in economics from Florida State University in 2016 where I was trained in applied microeconomics, econometrics, health economics, and law and public policy. In 2014, I was awarded the Irvin & Peggy Sobel Award, for outstanding achievement among students entering PhD candidacy, and I was selected to attend the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting in Economic Sciences along with approximately 20 other students among all economics PhD students in the nation. After completing my doctoral degree, I studied under the mentorship of Anirban Basu, Cri Masseria, and Lou Garrison as a postdoctoral fellowship at the Comparative Health Outcomes, Policy, and Economics (CHOICE) Institute at the University of Washington where I received further training in health economics and outcomes research. Some of my work with colleagues during this time focused on health economic issues including rising prescription drug costs, access to care, and substance use public health programs. My recent work with colleagues at the University of Washington explores the co-occurring epidemics of opioids and firearm violence, sexual and intimate partner violence, and the acquisition of and access to firearms with colleagues at the Harborview Injury Prevention & Research Center.
