Biography

I am a doctoral candidate in Health Policy and Management at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. My research interests include macro-organizational issues at the intersection of healthcare payment policy and private sector business.

My current research investigates whether organizational resilience and change experience influence the adoption of healthcare delivery models and payment innovations, applying organizational theory and advanced statistical methods to population-level data. My work on pharmaceutical policy and manufacturers’ behaviors has been published in healthcare journals, including JAMA, JAMA Internal Medicine, and Health Affairs, and disseminated through media outlets, including Forbes, Reuters, and United Press International.

Prior to coming to Johns Hopkins, I worked in the pharmaceutical industry, holding positions in commercial strategy, pricing, and health technology assessment.
