I am a 4th year Ph.D. student at the University of Oregon studying Labor and Health Economics.

My research focuses on identifying causal relationships between individuals' choices and their health outcomes.

Topics include:

Analyzing programs that incentivize young children to make healthy choices

Studying the relationship between education and health later throughout the life-cycle

Quantifying the scope of "medical bankruptcies" in the U.S.

Investigating moral hazard problems of health-insurance among practitioners of self harm.
