Health Economics Consulting
I offer consulting services to organisations seeking rigorous economic analysis in health, public health, and behavioral policy contexts. My work draws on over a decade of applied research, including randomised controlled trials, quasi-experimental studies, and work with large administrative and clinical datasets.
I have worked with NIH-funded research programs, tribal health organisations, and academic medical centres across the United States, and am based at the University of Otago in New Zealand. I am particularly well-suited to projects involving Indigenous communities, health disparities, program evaluation, and study design.
I welcome inquiries from government agencies, NGOs, health providers, research institutes, and private sector organisations.
