About Me

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the finance program at the University of North Carolina Kenan-Flagler Business School. I conduct empirical research in both corporate and household finance. I study how households save and invest over long time horizons as well as the forces that affect how employers offer retirement benefits to their employees. I will be joining the Leeds College of Business at the University of Colorado-Boulder in the summer of 2024.

I am also a Research Associate with the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI). I conduct research with the Public Retirement Research Lab, a collaboration between EBRI and the National Association of Government Defined Contribution Administrators. My work with the Public Retirement Research Lab involves studying retirement savings in public-sector defined contribution benefit plans covering millions of America's public sector employees.

Prior to beginning the Ph.D. program, I worked in the Washington, DC office of Berkeley Research Group, an economic consulting firm. I graduated summa cum laude from the College of William & Mary in 2014.
