I am a health economist and Deputy Director of Economic Analysis at the Budget Lab at Yale. My research interests include Medicaid, health insurance markets, population health, and behavioral responses to health policy. Previously, I was Principal Analyst in the Health Analysis Division at the Congressional Budget Office.

My current projects relate to affordability of health, Medicare-Medicaid dual eligibles, Medicaid and immigration, and health insurance modelling.

I obtained my Ph.D. in Health Policy and Economics from the University of California, Berkeley. My previous education includes an M.A. in Economics from UC Berkeley and an A.B. in Economics from Dartmouth College. Prior to graduate school, I worked as a project manager at Epic.
