I am a Senior Economist in the Financial Stability Department at the Bank of Canada. My research studies how household debt shapes the transmission of aggregate shocks and economic policy. My recent work examines how mortgage interest rate risk affects the transmission of aggregate shocks, and the consumption effects of student debt forgiveness.
