I am a health and labor economist employed at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) in the Center for Financing, Access, and Cost Trends. At AHRQ, I help produce the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, the nation's most complete dataset on how Americans use and pay for health care, built the MEPS-ICAR, a new federal dataset linked employer insurance survey data to administrative tax records, and released wooldid, an open-source statistical program for handling staggered onset difference-in-differences research designs. My research on methodological topics as well as on healthcare access, quality, cost, and workforce issues has appeared in venues including the Journal of Health Economics, the American Journal of Health Economics, JAMA, the Journal of Pediatrics, Health Affairs, and Health Services Research. I also work from time to time as an adjunct lecturer in the University of Maryland's Master of Science in Applied Economics program. I received my Ph.D. in economics from the University of Maryland, College Park in 2019 and my B.A. in mathematics and economics from St. Olaf College. Outside work, I enjoy perfume and cologne making, gardening, and reading about cultural and economic history. All views expressed on this site are my own and do not represent AHRQ or HHS.
