I am a PhD Candidate in Economics and Public Policy at the University of Michigan, and a Graduate Fellow in the Demography Training Program at the Population Studies Center (PSC). My research interests are in development economics, political economy, and labor economics. In my job market paper, I study the effects of internet access on political conflict, and whether these effects can help or harm resistance movements. I also work on topics related to international migration, women’s economic empowerment, and the long-run impact of reparations.
I previously worked as a Research Manager with Innovations for Poverty Action (IPA) in Namibia and Myanmar, where I managed Randomized Controlled Trials of policy interventions for local government and NGOs. I have a BA in Mathematics and Economics from Wesleyan University and an MPA from Columbia University.
I am on the 2025–2026 Job Market and available for interviews.
