Hi everyone! I am an MD-PhD trainee at Harvard Medical School, with a background in quantitative methods and statistics through the Harvard PhD Program in Health Policy. My research applies causal inference and quasi-experimental methods to large healthcare datasets to understand how clinical decision-making and healthcare systems affect patient outcomes, with the goal of identifying opportunities to improve care.

I grew up near Cleveland, Ohio, and attended Duke University, where I studied public policy and biology. Highlights of my undergraduate experiences include interning in Washington, D.C. in political advocacy, studying abroad in France, and volunteering in Lebanon. After graduating, I conducted health policy research at Duke, studying topics including physician incentives, consumer decision-making in insurance exchanges, and drug payment reform.

At Cabot House, I serve as Pre-Medicine Lead, supporting students interested in medical careers, and as Non-Resident Tutor and Community Liaison. In my free time, I love playing sports (especially anything with a racquet!) and exploring Cambridge and Boston, often in search of good food or a new picnic spot. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about medicine, research, statistical methods, health policy, or anything else on your mind. Welcome to the Cabot community!
