I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the University at Albany, SUNY. My research lies at the intersection of Health Economics and Applied Microeconomics, with a particular focus on maternal and infant nutrition and health outcomes.

My job market paper examines the causal relationship between the density of local Dollar Stores and birth outcomes among mothers in the United States, contributing to the broader understanding of how local retail environments shape public health.

I will be on the job market during the 2025–2026 academic year.
