Hello, and welcome! I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Public Administration and Policy and hold a courtesy appointment in the John Munro Godfrey, Sr. Department of Economics at the University of Georgia. I am also a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research and an Associate Editor at Journal of Health Economics. I earned my Ph.D. in Economics from Vanderbilt University in August 2018.

I specialize in the fields of health economics and applied microeconomics. I’m particularly interested in analyzing the effects of public policies on maternal and child health, as well as examining the effects of vaccination policies on health and health behaviors.
