Equity & Society

My research on equity and society examines how social determinants and structural factors shape health outcomes and economic opportunities. I have worked on models of racial wealth disparities to understand pathways toward closing the Black-White wealth gap, studied how transportation barriers affect cancer screening completion, and analyzed how pandemic disruptions disproportionately impact vulnerable populations. This work combines quantitative modeling with a focus on socioeconomic outcomes, aiming to identify policies that can promote more equitable outcomes across society.
