I am a Ph.D. candidate in Economics at the University of Oregon, specializing in Public Economics and Applied Econometrics. I am particularly interested in analyzing the causes and consequences of inequality within the fields of health and education. My job market paper uses a doctor fixed-effects model to understand gender differences in diagnosis rates for Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), using a rich longitudinal dataset of Medicaid claims linked to student test scores and attendance records. Other projects I have worked on have produced cost-of-illness estimates of typhoid in low- and middle-income countries and explored household sorting in response to school funding equalization reforms.

I have dedicated a significant portion of the past few years to teaching and mentoring aspiring economists. In addition to teaching upper-level courses in Public and Health Economics as the instructor of record, I have also spent the last two summers teaching Microeconomics to gifted high school students through the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY) summer program.

In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, spin classes, cooking, and playing piano.
