Research areas

Aging and Age Discrimination

Aging and the social and economic issues of older adults are an overarching theme in my research. I am interested in ageism in the workplace and how perceptions of workplace ageism are shaping older adults' economic and health outcomes.

Health inequality

Currently, I am working on differences in cognitive performance in later life. My previous work includes racial/ethnic disparities in mortality in later life.

Racial/ethnic inequality

​I rely on life course, cumulative inequality and intersectionality frameworks and focus on how racial/ethnic disparities manifest themselves especially as people get older.

Financial Fraud

During my postdoc at RAND I worked with the American Life Panel data and examined what adults in the United States knew about financial fraud. We produced great work with colleagues from RAND and FINRA Foundation.

Financial wellbeing / Economic inequality

I study older adults' labor force participation and transition during economic crises. I have some interest in housing inequality and would love to collaborate with housing experts especially if they are interested in older individuals' experiences.
