​Welcome to my site!

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Economics at Rice University. I obtained my M.A. in Economics from Duke University in 2017.  

Upcoming appointments: 

-Postdoctoral Fellow, Aalto University (2024-2025)

My research fields are Development Economics and Applied Microeconomics. I am enthusiastic about topics related to family, education, and health.

My research borrows multidisciplinary insights across economics, psychology, and sociology. I have designed and conducted field experiments, utilizing both observational and experimental data to address policy-relevant questions. 

Beyond academic life, I love collecting stamps and DIY LEGOs! I am also an avid runner and passionate about HIIT!
