I am a Ph.D. candidate in Finance at the Ross School of Business, University of Michigan. My research focuses on financial intermediation, household finance, and fintech. I study the influence of regulatory and informational frictions on household well-being and explore the role of intermediaries in helping households navigate these challenges. I am on the job market for the academic 2023-2024 year.


Before pursuing a Ph.D., I worked as a pricing actuary in health and disability insurance. I earned undergraduate degrees in Actuarial Science and Finance from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
