I am an applied microeconomist specializing in labor economics, with a focus on topics at the intersection of crime, education, and health. My published and ongoing research to date focuses on three interconnected areas: (1) the determinants of criminal behavior and its interaction with education and employment decisions; (2) associations between health, substance use, and behavioral outcomes; and (3) evaluation of programs aimed at improving labor market access and outcomes for marginalized groups.

A project that analyzes how interventions in prescription drug markets reshape broader controlled-substance markets. In joint work with Cecilia Diaz-Campo (Washington University in St. Louis), we develop a dynamic structural model to assess how opioid policies affect providers, patients, and secondary markets. By linking prescribing behavior, patient utilization, and diversion indicators, the analysis captures substitution across legal and illicit channels and evaluates how regulatory changes—such as monitoring programs and prescribing limits—affect access, misuse, and distributional outcomes.
