I am a population health and aging researcher in the Department of Community Health at Tufts University. I joined Tufts as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2022, following a postdoctoral fellowship at the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies. My research and teaching interests include social epidemiology, health policy, and population aging. My work has been published in peer-reviewed journals including Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, International Journal of Epidemiology, The Gerontologist, and Social Science & Medicine. I hold a PhD in Health Services Organization and Policy and an MPH in Epidemiology from the University of Michigan School of Public Health.
