I'm an Assistant Professor of Health and Human Services at the University of Michigan, Dearborn, and I'm passionate about using my research and teaching to make the world a healthier and happier place! My research focuses on racial and ethnic inequalities in health, as well as age, period, and generational patterns in health and well-being in the U.S. and beyond. I excel in utilizing various quantitative methods, especially for analyzing cross-sectional datasets. Outside of work, I enjoy watching Formula 1, hiking, and going on a road trip with my family.
