Welcome!

I am a job market candidate from Columbia University. I am an applied microeconomist researching questions in labor economics and behavioral/experimental economics. I have a particular focus on how information, networks, and behavioral patterns can affect socioeconomic outcomes. I combine both traditional empirical methods and newer experimental methodology to these questions. Prior to Columbia, I worked at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York from 2016-2018 and received my B.A. in Economics in 2016 at the University of Chicago. You can find my CV here.

My job market paper, “Information Asymmetry in Job Search,” is available here.
