Is connection at the core of addiction?
I’m a AAAS Science and Technology Policy Fellow, bringing psychology and public health expertise into the policymaking process to strengthen behavioral health, recovery, and community well-being. My work focuses on how social connection influences substance use, mental health, and health equity – and how evidence can guide policies that reduce harm and expand access to care.
I believe the best policies come from understanding both the science and the lived experiences of the people they affect. That’s what drives my work every day.
