Health Economist (PhD/MPP) | HEOR | LinkedIn
I am a health economist with PhD/MPP degrees from the University of Chicago and a MSc from the London School of Economics. My doctoral research examined healthcare providers’ responses to policy and technology changes, the impact of Medicare Advantage on patient outcomes and fiscal cost, and the role of disability insurance in shaping financial outcomes.
Starting in Fall 2025, I will join Analysis Group as an Associate in its Health Economics and Outcomes Research Practice (Boston), applying my expertise in real‑world data, econometric modeling, and healthcare policy evaluation to support clients across the life sciences and healthcare sectors.
