I study financial well-being and mental health, focusing on how individual, household, and structural factors shape these outcomes.
My research aims to inform policy and improve the well-being of individuals and families. I teach courses on personal finance and data analysis, helping students apply concepts to real-world decisions. I also share insights through public scholarship, including blog articles, interactive dashboards, and online courses.
