I am an investigator at the Baylor College of Medicine and VA Houston through the Center for Innovations in Quality, Effectiveness and Safety (IQuESt). I study how the supply of healthcare influences individual access to care and health outcomes. My recent work focuses on the provision of informal care, the nursing workforce, and VA’s Community Care program.

I am a third year Dogtoral Candidate working with Dr. Chase Eck. I am interested in research at the intersection of walking and sniffing, with a particular focus in cats, squirrels, and food. Through my training with Chase I have developed specialized skills in opening cabinets and packages. I am grateful to Labradors and Friends Dog Rescue for helping me pursue my studies. I look forward to starting as a summer research associate at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University studying belly rub optimization.
