I am a doctoral candidate in Economics from Michigan State University on the 2025-26 job market. I am interested in academic, government, and private sector positions. 

My current research focuses on improving inference for clustered and heteroskedastic data using finite population modeling assumptions.

My future research interests include analyzing models popular in the applied literature, such as differences-in-differences and other panel data models, from the perspective of a finite-population to improve inference for a broader class of methods.
