I am an economist working at the intersection of health policy, development, and global systems. My research examines how institutions, inequalities, and social contexts shape healthcare access, maternal and perinatal outcomes, and individual decision-making.
My work spans large-scale empirical analysis, interdisciplinary health research, and policy-oriented inquiry, as well as over two decades of teaching and mentoring in economics and research methods.
Research on maternity care, patient experience, and inequities using large-scale Canadian datasets, with a focus on access, quality, and outcomes.
Work on nutrition, child health, gender, and health behaviours in low- and middle-income contexts, examining how socioeconomic constraints shape decisions and outcomes.
Research on antidumping, trade agreements, and institutional design in global trade systems, with a focus on policy effectiveness and economic impact.
