My primary advisor is Jeremy Goldhaber-Fiebert. I worked as an economist in the Public Health Economics Program at RTI International conducting economic evaluations in areas such as diabetes, pediatric asthma, family planning, and more. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Finance and Business Economics from the University of South Carolina and a master’s degree in Health Economics from the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health. My research interests include simulation modeling, cost-effectiveness analysis, infectious disease modeling, kidney transplantation policy, and cancer modeling.
