About Me:

1. • I am a doctoral candidate in Economics at the University of Arizona. I hold citizenship in both the United States and Canada.
   

Research Interests:

1. • My current research studies the effects of expanding dependent health insurance coverage to young adults. My job market paper uses both changes in state policy and the Affordable Care Act to understand how young adults respond to dependent coverage. Aside from health policy, my other research interests include friction and discrimination in the labor market, public policy analysis, and U.S. economic history.
