I am an economist in the Research Department of the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, and a Research Affiliate of CESifo. I received my Ph.D. in Economics from the University of Chicago in 2017. 

My research focuses on heterogeneity at the firm level and its importance for the aggregate economy. To do so, I use a variety of large scale data sets including those from administrative sources. I apply insights from macroeconomics and IO to study the behavior of firms at the micro level and its implications for aggregate fluctuations, productivity and growth.
