I am a demographer with a substantive focus on studying health over the life course and methodological interests in survey design and imputation. My work has been published in Demography, Journal of Gerontology: Medical Sciences, Journal of Aging and Health, Social Science and Medicine, and Social Science Research. I have recently started a project looking at whether an indirect survey method, the list experiment, can improve estimates of reproductive health outcomes.
In 2019, I joined the University of Maryland where I am an Associate Research Professor with the Maryland Population Research Center. Prior to joining the University of Maryland, I was a demographer with the Health and Disability Statistics Branch at the U.S. Census Bureau where I worked on the redesign of health content in the Current Population Survey Annual Social and Economic Supplement and the Survey of Income and Program Participation.
In 2015, I completed my doctorate in Sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a concentration in Demography and Social Stratification and my masters in Population Health Sciences. I also have postdoctoral training at Johns Hopkins University in the department of Biostatistics and Center on Aging and Health.
