Phoenix is currently a Kellogg Health Scholar.
She earned a PhD in Policy Analysis from the RAND Graduate School
and holds a BS in engineering from UCLA. Before completing her
doctorate, she was a Water and Sanitation Peace Corps Volunteer
in Mali, Africa and a structural engineer at Hughes Space and
Communications.
Her broad research interests include the social determinants
of health, community context, and quantitative methodologies,
with special interest in using longitudinal data to study
life-course and cumulative effects of socioeconomic status
and neighborhood context on health outcomes and disparities.
Methodologically, she is exploring whether the usage of
multiple-level information combined with alternative
statistical adjustment strategies such as propensity score
adjustment and marginal structural modeling can provide a
better understanding to the social determinants of racial
health inequalities, particularly between Blacks and Whites.
