Bio

As a developmental psychologist and methodologist, I have collaborated with interdisciplinary teams to conduct research on a wide variety of topics. I have extensive experiences with conducting complex modeling with public health data. In particular, I have led multiple projects that involved linking and analyzing large-scale, longitudinal administrative datasets. My current research focuses on the health, wellbeing, and educational outcomes of adolescents and young adults.
