Hello! I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Economics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. My primary research interests broadly lie in labor and public economics. Currently, my work focuses on three areas :

• The dynamic consequences of routine-biased technological change for labor markets and education, with particular attention to skill mismatch

• The effects of quotas on entry barriers and their unintended consequences

• Evaluations of tax programs 

I will be on the 2025-26 academic job market.
