A quick life update: Today, I accepted an offer to work as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Missouri! I will work for Michael F. Pesko 🇺🇸 🇺🇦 researching tobacco policy and other health topics. I am incredibly blessed and thankful for this opportunity!

I’m excited to share my research at #ASHEcon2024

Grateful for the chance to present my research at #WEAI yesterday. Huge thanks to Kevin Schnepel for organizing so many great sessions, and to everyone who attended and shared valuable feedback!
