Bio

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Economics at Vanderbilt University where I serve as a research affiliate with the Center for Research on Inequality & Health and the LGBTQ+ Policy Lab. My research leverages quasi-experimental methods to study how discrimination, information, and public policy shape labor market outcomes, health, and household investment decisions.
