I recently graduated with a PhD in Health Economics from York University and have accepted a tenure-track Assistant Professor position in the Economics Department at the Lebanese American University in Beirut, Lebanon, beginning in Fall 2025.

My research explores the influence of retirement on physical health, mental health, and overall well-being.  I utilize the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging dataset, which tracks over 50,000 individuals for more than a decade. Through rigorous statistical analysis, I investigate the effects of retirement on well-being. This study is not only about understanding these impacts but also about assessing potential policy interventions to improve health outcomes and quality of life for retirees post-retirement.

When not immersed in my research, I find balance and joy in an active lifestyle. I enjoy being outdoors, whether it's for energizing workouts, relaxing picnics, nature hikes, or cycling.
