I am a demographer specializing in health across the life course with methodological expertise in survey design and data imputation. My research has been published in leading journals, including Demography, Journal of Gerontology: Medical Sciences, Journal of Aging and Health, Social Science & Medicine, and Social Science Research. My current work explores the potential of indirect survey techniques—specifically, list experiments—to improve measurement of sensitive reproductive health outcomes.
Since 2019, I have served as an Associate Research Professor at the University of Maryland College Park, affiliated with the Maryland Population Research Center. Prior to this, I was a demographer in the Health and Disability Statistics Branch at the U.S. Census Bureau, where I played a key role in redesigning the health content of the Current Population Survey’s Annual Social and Economic Supplement and the Survey of Income and Program Participation.
I earned my Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2015, with concentrations in Demography and Social Stratification, along with a master’s degree in Population Health Sciences. I subsequently completed postdoctoral training in Biostatistics at Johns Hopkins University.
