I am an assistant professor in the Department of Family and Consumer Studies at the University of Utah.
My research investigates how structural factors (e.g., public policies and economic conditions) as well as individual-level factors (e.g., financial literacy and technology adoption) shape people's perceived hardship and well-being.
Through these investigations, I seek to generate insights that inform policy decisions and enhance the quality of life for individuals and families.
I am passionate about translating complex academic concepts into accessible insights. I create educational content on data literacy, data analysis, applied causal inference, human behavior, and well-being.
