Background
Jarrett joined Redstone after graduating magna cum laude from Yale University, where he majored in economics with a special interest in health economics. His senior thesis on the impact of hospital consolidation on municipal finances was published in the Yale Undergraduate Research Journal. Outside of academic work, Jarrett was a founding member of the Urban Philanthropic Fund, an organization that works closely with, and provides grants through its own fundraising and investments to, New Haven nonprofits. He designed the group’s webpage for an initial fundraising drive and researched healthcare investment opportunities for the organization. He also interned in the Public Policy Department at AdventHealth, where he spearheaded a research project to study rising healthcare costs, social determinants of health, and food insecurity.
In his free time, Jarrett enjoys snow skiing, reading, college football, movie nights with friends, and long walks in Central Park with his rescue black lab, Lexi.
