I am an assistant professor in the Department of Family and Preventive Medicine at Rush University. I am broadly interested in combining administrative data sources (such as birth records and health insurance claims) to answer a variety of questions in maternal and child health. My primary area of research measures the impact of pre- and early-life health on the development, well-being, and health care receipt of infants, mothers, and family members. This includes investigating socioeconomic, racial, and geographic disparities in prenatal health (care) and its consequences on family health outcomes. A secondary line of research focuses on developing methods for esimating health-related spillover effects within families—that is, how one individual's health can affect their family member's health—using graphical causal models (i.e., directed acyclic graphs, or DAGs). I have disseminated my research broadly across the applied health sciences. Journals that have published my work include Health Services Research, Medical Care, the Annals of Epidemiology, Paediatric and Perinatal Epidemiology, and Preventive Medicine.
I earned my PhD in Population Health Sciences from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2021. Prior to joining Rush University, I completed postdoctoral training at the University of Wisconsin-Madison Department of Family Medicine and Community Health and at the University of Texas-Austin Population Research Center.
