Welcome!

I am an assistant professor at University of Massachusetts Boston. 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.

I graduated my Ph.D. from Columbia in 2024. 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.
