I am a Ph.D. candidate in Financial Economics at the Yale School of Management (degree expected 2026); I received my J.D. from Yale Law School in 2024. My research covers the usage of financial economics in tax and corporate law, including how different types of courts reach systematically different valuations of business assets, the role of expert witnesses in corporate and securities litigation, and the use of life insurance as a high-net-worth tax avoidance strategy.

In my capacity as Executive Editor and inaugural Empirical Scholarship Editor for the Yale Journal on Regulation (JREG), I created JREG's data and code disclosure policy and was the lead organizer of the Joint Law Review Statement on Data and Code Transparency. Prior to graduate school, I worked as a Senior Associate Economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago (2017-2020). I received my bachelor's degree in Economics, with Honors, from Stanford University in 2017.

My research has been cited in litigation by the Department of Justice Tax Division; in academic outlets like CLS Blue Sky Blog, Duke FinReg Blog, and JOTWELL; and in legal media like Tax Notes, Bloomberg Law, and The American Lawyer.
