I am a PhD candidate in Economics in the field of health economics at Cornell University. My research focuses on non-financial barriers to accessing health care with projects spanning three primary topics: (1) The impact of urgent care centers on healthcare access, spending, and patient health; (2) The local labor market and public health impacts of expanding the nurse practitioner labor supply; and (3) The barriers to birth control prescription adherence. 

Prior to attending Cornell, I spent two years at the Federal Reserve Board of Governors as a member of the team designing and studying the Survey of Consumer Finances. While there, my research focused on measuring the liquid savings of US families, and the ability of those families to weather adverse financial shocks.
