Trained as a social epidemiologist and health policy researcher, I graduated from Harvard University with a Ph.D. in Population Health Sciences and a Master’s Degree in Biostatistics. I am currently an Assistant Professor at the Department of Public Health Sciences at the University of Chicago. I was previously a Visiting Research Scholar at the Department of Health Care Policy at Harvard Medical School. My work asks a range of novel questions centered on the compatibility of different financial systems and actors with population health and health care management, expenditure, and quality.

In this spirit, I have led several studies describing the influence of private equity ownership in health care. My work on private equity has been used to inform congressional hearings, the Congressional Budget Office, and national reporting on financial investment in health care. Based on this research, I received the Horowitz Foundation for Social Policy Trustees’ Award in 2021 for the most innovative approach in theory and/or methodology.

I also direct the Health Care Finance team within the Harvard GenderSci lab. GenderSci is an interdisciplinary research lab dedicated to generating feminist concepts, methods, and theories for biomedical, health policy, and public health research. Collaborating with scholars across disciplines and institutions continues to be one of the most thrilling and enriching dimensions of my work. The mission of the Health Care Finance team is to probe the business of health and health care management and its implications for women and gender minorities.
