MY background

I'm a Policy Analyst at Boston University School of Public Health, where I focus on the intersections of social systems, healthcare, and gender-based violence. My recent article, Leaving Brame Behind: An Urgent Call to Shift the Focus of Police Officer-Perpetrated Domestic Violence Research, explores potential causes and consequences of epistemic injustice for survivors of police officer-perpetrated domestic violence (OPDV). For nearly a decade, I've supported research and policy analysis across academic, philanthropic, and governmental settings - and I bring this experience with me as I work on OPDV. The core of my work reveals that victims and survivors of OPDV, as well as those who love and work with them, urgently need resources, research, and reform that uplifts and centers their needs.

The Big questions

I'm Driven To Explore...

Questions of Power

How does power play out in OPDV? What do these interactions tell us?

Questions of Capital

What does social, political, economic, and other capital look like in the U.S. and abroad? What are the causes and consequences of it?

Questions of Welfare

How and who do institutions protect, betray, or allow to preserver?

Questions of Care

What interpersonal costs of care have arisen? What are the ethics of care in this setting?

What other work am I engaged on?

Other Projects

Health Policy Analysis

Social Justice Philanthropy

My experience in healthcare policy and evaluation hail from three domains: U.S. Veteran care, LGBTQ disaster care, and Community Health Worker Interventions.

My time in philanthropy comes down to addressing one question: if philanthropy at any scale is an inevitably, how can it be done meaningfully?
