Welcome! I am a Ph.D. candidate from the Department of Economics at the University of Maryland. As a labor and applied microeconomist, I study topics related to the economics of education and child welfare. I received my M.A. (2019) from the University of British Columbia, Canada and B.A. (2018) from Yale-NUS College, Singapore.
I am on the job market this year (AY 2025-26) and available for interviews.
