Her research focuses on health economics, pollution effects on health, and healthcare policy, particularly concerning Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) populations in the U.S. She holds a Ph.D. in Economics from Cornell University (2014).
Key research interests include the economic impacts of environmental factors like pollen and pollution on health outcomes, the effects of public policies on healthcare access, and the socioeconomic determinants of mental health. Her work often bridges interdisciplinary gaps between economics, public health, and environmental science.
Recent publications analyze topics such as pollen allergies and traffic fatalities, recreational marijuana laws and public health behaviors, and preventive care disparities for MENA children during the Trump administration. She has contributed to policy-relevant studies on Flint’s water crisis, opioid prescription trends, and pandemic-related healthcare disruptions.
No scientific awards are explicitly listed, but her extensive publication record highlights impactful contributions to health economics. She advises graduate students like Owen Fleming and teaches courses on health economics and microeconomics, reflecting her commitment to both research and education.
Labs/Teams: Collaborates with interdisciplinary teams at Wayne State’s Integrative Biosciences Center (IBio) and the Department of Economics, focusing on applied health policy research.
