I am a first year PhD student in Economics at MIT interested in macro, financial economics and development.

Previously, I was a pre-doctoral research specialist at the Julis Rabinowitz Center for Public Policy and Finance at Princeton University working with Professor Atif Mian. 

I graduated from Loyola Marymount University with a triple major in applied math, computer science and history.
