I am a health economist and an assistant professor in the Division of Health Policy and Economics of the Department of Population Health Sciences at the Joan & Sanford I. Weill Medical College of Cornell University. I am also an Associate Director of the Cornell Health Policy Center and the Cornell Center for Health Equity.

I study Medicaid and the health care safety net in the United States. Through my research, I aim to identify policy levers to address racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities in health and health care.

Recent Highlights:

• We have a new article out in JAMA examining the difficulty of accessing psychiatric care in Medicaid.
• With funding from the United Hospital Fund, New York State Department of Health, and Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, we are launching the Medicaid Unwinding in New York (MUNY) Study, a large survey-based project to examine barriers to health care coverage among Medicaid enrollees following the end of the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency.
• In the Journal of Clinical Oncology, we share evidence on how Medicaid may affect racial and ethnic disparities in clinical trial participation.
