Postdoctoral Associate, School of Public Health
Yale University

I am a Postdoctoral Associate in the School of Public Health at Yale University, where I also completed my Ph.D. in Health Policy and Management (Economics Track). My research focuses on healthy aging among older adults, spanning cognitive aging and dementia care, long-term care, acute care, and public policy evaluation that can improve care quality and outcomes for older adults and their families. My work draws on large-scale national surveys and administrative data to generate evidence that informs policy and practice.
