My research centers on maternal and child health, with a particular focus on the quality of antenatal care and its impact on health outcomes. I analyze large population-based datasets such as DHS, PRAMS, and All of Us to examine how social, behavioral, and political determinants influence access to and quality of care. My work integrates epidemiologic methods and biostatistics to investigate disparities in preventive care, including folic acid supplementation, preterm birth, and early breastfeeding. I aim to produce findings that support data-driven public health interventions and inform policies that advance health equity, especially in underserved populations.
