I am a postdoctoral research fellow at Indiana University, jointly appointed in the O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs and the Center for Children’s Health Services Research in the Department of Pediatrics. I am an applied microeconomist, and my research examines how health regulation changes the way providers and patients behave, with a focus on substance use policy and the opioid epidemic. I use quasi-experimental causal inference and large administrative data to identify which features of a policy change behavior and what unintended consequences follow. My work has appeared in journals including the American Journal of Health Economics, JAMA Network Open, and the American Journal of Public Health.
I received my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa in 2024.
