I am a PhD student in Human Development and Social Policy at the University of Utah. My research focuses on mental health, with particular attention to social and structural inequalities, including gendered disparities and policy contexts, that influence mental health and wellbeing across the life course. My work integrates perspectives from health psychology, health policy, and public health and uses both quantitative and qualitative methods, including causal inference and interview-based analysis.

I earned a master’s degree in Human Development and Social Policy and a bachelor’s degree in Economics. My interdisciplinary training informs my commitment to producing evidence-based research that advances equity and improves population health through policy-relevant insights.

I currently serve as a Graduate Teaching Assistant and am interested in research that informs policy change and promotes equitable opportunities across educational, health, and community settings. I welcome connections and collaborations related to mental health, health and social policy, gender, and inequality.
