Welcome!

I am an assistant professor at the University of Massachusetts Boston researching questions in labor economics and behavioral/experimental economics. I have a particular focus on how intangibles such as information, networks, and behavioral patterns affect socioeconomic outcomes. To answer these questions, I combine both traditional empirical methods and newer experimental methodology.

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.
