Welcome!
I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Texas at San Antonio Carlos Alvarez College of Business. I am also a Visiting Research Fellow at Aalto University School of Business. I obtained my Ph.D. in Economics from Rice University in 2024 and my M.A. in Economics from Duke University in 2017.
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!
