I am a postdoctoral research fellow at Opportunity Insights at Harvard. My current research is in the fields of public economics and labor economics. I received a PhD in Economics from Harvard in 2023. I am a co-director at Policy Impacts.
Starting in July 2024, I will be an assistant professor in the Business Economics and Public Policy (BEPP) group at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.
My CV is here.
