Welcome! I am a doctoral student in the Combined Program in Education and Psychology (CPEP) at the University of Michigan and am pursuing a dual master's degree in Statistics. I am also an IES Causal Inference Predoctoral Fellow and a 2022 APPAM Equity and Diversity Fellow.
At the University of Michigan, I work with Dr. Christina Weiland. I am interested in using causal inference and machine learning methods to help inform the development of more effective and equitable education interventions and teaching policies. I am also interested in collaborating as part of research-practice partnerships to make research more publicly accessible and able to guide real-world decision-making. My research is deeply influenced by my previous work as a public high school teacher on the South Side of Chicago and then as a research analyst for an education non-profit prior to starting my PhD. In my free time, I like to paint, play the piano, and rock climb.
