Mission-driven data scientist with a passion for using data to improve how government designs policies, delivers services, and protects consumers. I have over 10 years of experience in data-driven roles across government, think tanks, academia, and the private sector, including over 4 years of experience managing small teams (3-4 people).
I currently work as a data scientist at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, where I focus on assessing algorithmic fairness in machine learning models. Prior to joining the CFPB, I was a quantitative researcher at the Urban Institute, where I focused on projecting the coverage and cost effects of health insurance reform policies. I have also held a variety of other data science and analytics-focused roles at organizations including BlueLabs, the Census Bureau, and the Massive Data Institute.
I have a master's degree in Data Science for Public Policy from Georgetown University and a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from the University of Michigan.

Summary: This report examines the cost and coverage effects of lowering the age of Medicare eligibility from 65 to 60. We show that there would be improvements in health insurance coverage for most people ages 60-64, though these coverage gains would differ by enrollees’ income and current coverage. There would be a modest drop in the number of uninsured, and the remaining uninsured would now have access to Part A coverage for hospital expenses.
Summary: The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 increased premium tax credits (PTCs) for Marketplace coverage and extended eligibility for those credits to people with incomes above 400 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL). Consequently, Marketplace enrollment reached a record high during the 2022 open enrollment period. However, these enhancements are set to expire after 2022. Without extension, Marketplace enrollment will most likely fall and the number of people uninsured will increase.
