Bio

My training in sociology shapes my focus on the social determinants of health, health policy and health services research. My mission is to discover and disseminate evidence for public policy decisions that improve population health and equity. Through my work, I hope to connect the next generation of public health and healthcare workers with the tools to advocate for effective public health policy change. Most of my career has been spent in public health and this experience has helped me to build relationships with collaborators from multiple, diverse perspectives. For example, I have worked with more than 100 different co-authors representing a variety of disciplines (e.g., medicine, epidemiology, policy, economics, psychology, industrial engineering, education). These collaborations have enabled me to work on high impact projects to improve people’s lives such as Medicaid expansion, smoking prevention, and improving access to care for underserved populations. Please contact me if you are a researcher or student interested in collaborating on a project, an organization or policymaker interested in consultation, a student or junior professional needing mentoring, or a journalist requesting an interview.
