Behavioral economics researcher in public health
I study how people make health decisions — and what it takes to change them.
I am a behavioral economics researcher in public health. I use demand analysis and discounting methods to study how people make decisions about health — vaccines, preventive care, interventions — with a particular focus on African and diaspora populations. I completed my Ph.D. at Southern Illinois University, where I continue to collaborate as a visiting researcher. I am also the founder of PROMISE Labs Africa, an independent research nonprofit.
