About Me
Welcome! I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Economics at the University of Melbourne, and I will be on the 2025–2026 job market.
I am an applied microeconomist with primary fields in development economics, health economics, and behavioral economics. My research seeks to identify the psychological and behavioral mechanisms through which environmental and social factors affect the health and economic well-being of vulnerable populations.
Research Focus
My ongoing and published projects explore questions such as:
Can treatment for depression prevent or reduce intimate partner violence?
Does cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) provide resilience against future negative shocks?
Can improving sleep through cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) enhance the economic lives of the poor?
