I'm currently pursuing graduate studies in Information Economics at the University of Washington. At my core, I’m a theorist. While data is increasingly abundant, theory continues to play a vital role — not only in deepening our understanding of empirical results, but also in exploring behaviors that data alone can’t capture, such as effort and incentives.
Before coming to UW, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics and Economics from the University of Oregon (Go Ducks!).
Outside of academics, I’m a dedicated fan of the New York Mets and New York Jets—which, admittedly, can be a test of patience. I also enjoy playing all kinds of strategy games and staying active through fitness.
