About

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Pittsburgh. I am an applied microeconomist working at the intersections of labor, development and behavioral economics. Much of my research focuses on understanding how exposure to different forms of inequality and poverty, particularly experienced in childhood, affects economic outcomes through behavioral and psychological channels.

I received my PhD from the University of California Berkeley in Agricultural and Resource Economics. Previously, I taught undergraduate economics for the University of Colorado Denver in Denver and Beijing.
