She previously completed her PhD in Sociology and Demography at Pennsylvania State University and a postdoctoral fellowship at University of Michigan Population Studies Center. Her research investigates social determinants of health and health services use across the life course, with a specific focus on how resource-health relationships change across cohorts and in the context of aging societies.
