Hi. I believe that everyone deserves equal access to information and resources - this belief has driven my work in public health.

In my first year at Duke University, witnessing the disparate impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic sparked an interest in health policy - particularly access to care, affordability (of services and drugs/devices), and health disparities.

I am also a writer. In high school, I was a staff writer for The Academic, an online zine focused on study habits. I later began writing about arts and culture at Affinity Magazine, eventually becoming editor of the books section. When I arrived at Duke, I joined The Chronicle, the university’s student-led, financially independent news organization. Ironically, my first Chronicle article featured the Duke-Margolis Center for Health Policy, where I would later pursue a research internship and be named an undergraduate Margolis Scholar. Following graduation, I pursued an MPH at The George Washington University.. My writing skills have been an asset in describing research and policy impacts to a variety of audiences.

These days, I’m primarily interested in policy analysis, data analysis, women's health, and noncommunicable diseases. My policy and research work is highlighted on my research page. You can learn more about my background and skills on my about page. I have written for multiple outlets over the years, a sample of which is available on my writing page. My projects page showcases programming side projects, primarily Python.

Outside of work, I enjoy reading, creative writing, museums, and live performances. I have a YouTube channel where I post vlogs, book reviews, and videos about public health.
