Hi there! I'm an applied health services and policy researcher focused on improving care experiences among people with disabilities and older adults.
The overarching mission of my work is to promote policies and programs rooted in health abolition and disability justice. I do this by applying frameworks and methodologies from quality measurement and implementation science to understand and improve structures, processes, and outcomes of care. In particular, I am interested in deinstitutionalization—i.e., supporting the movement towards home- and community-based services—and reducing administrative burdens. Most of my research focuses on Medicaid and the Veterans Health Administration.
I'm currently a doctoral candidate in Health Services and Policy Research at Boston University School of Public Health (BUSPH) and a Phyllis Torda Health Care Quality and Equity Fellow at NCQA. I previously received my MPH from BUSPH and my bachelor's degree from Brown University.
