I am a Ph.D. candidate in Health Policy and Management (Economics Track) at Yale University. My research focuses on healthy aging among older adults with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, spanning the economics of cognitive aging, aging population health, and public policy evaluation. My work draws on large-scale national surveys and administrative data to generate evidence that informs policy and practice.
