Thank you for visiting!

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Public Administration and Policy at the University at Albany, State University of New York (SUNY).

My research focuses on examining the causal effects of K-12 education systems on students’ health and behavioral outcomes. Currently, my research evaluates the impact of school-based health interventions—such as mental health education and services provided by school health staff—on student outcomes using quasi-experimental methods.

As a public policy scholar, I aim to provide rigorous empirical evidence on how public policy shapes various aspects of human development, influencing long-term individual trajectories and promoting social equity.
