I was raised in San Francisco, California, the unceded land of the Muwekma, Ohlone, and Ramaytush people. I am a white settler on this land with Eastern European Jewish, Irish, and Lithuanian ancestry. I live with Crohn’s Disease, a chronic autoimmune condition that can be disabling in waves. I am fortunate to have low-cost and consistent health insurance to cover the exorbitantly priced medication that keeps my symptoms manageable. These identities inform how I approach my research. I work to investigate the biases I hold based on these life experiences during the research process. 
 
I am a third-year doctoral candidate in the University of Washington’s Department of Health Systems and Population Health, located on the land of the Duwamish, Puyallup, Suquamish, Tulalip, and Muckleshoot nations. During my doctorate, I hope to explore research topics related to equitable and person-centered delivery of abortion and contraception care, especially for those with chronic conditions and disabilities. 
 
I previously worked on sexual and reproductive health research during my master’s at Columbia University, my employment at the Guttmacher Institute, and at the U.S. Veterans Health Administration during my PhD. 
 
I joined the team in June 2024 as a research assistant on the project exploring trade-offs in how Texans make decisions about traveling for abortion care in the post-Dobbs landscape. 
 
Outside of work, I am a funding advocate for the Northwest Abortion Access Fund and previously for the New York Abortion Access Fund. When not working, I love to embroider, knit, run, read, and try new restaurants and coffee shops. I also spend as much time as possible with my family, friends, and (most importantly) their pets.
