I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the University of Southern California (USC)

 I am an applied microeconomist working at the intersection of labor and public economics. My research examines how social safety net programs shape economic inequality, with a particular focus on the care economy.

 I will be on the 2025-26 Job Market. 

My job market paper is titled "When Quality Counts: Early Childhood Regulation and the Long-Run Development of Human Capital".
