Welcome

CallMy first interest is disparities in access to health insurance coverage and health care services among low-income, racial and ethnic communities.

I am also interested in the complexities of measuring health insurance coverage so my research also explores discrepancies between survey and administrative data counts of coverage.

I am an Investigator at the State Health Access Data Assistance Center (SHADAC) funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which assists other states in monitoring rates of coverage and using data to inform policy and improve access.
