I am an Economics PhD candidate at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. My research interests are in Health Economics, Industrial Organization, and Applied Microeconomics.

I am on the 2023-2024 job market (wish me luck!).

I grew up in Pittsburgh, PA and completed my undergraduate studies at Indiana University of Pennsylvania before coming to Philadelphia  and Temple University to pursue my doctoral degree in economics.

My job market paper studies how the regulatory environment within the ACA-created individual insurance markets impact consumer welfare and marginal costs. You can read more here.
