I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute for Macroeconomic and Policy Analysis, working on monetary and fiscal policy. I am particularly interested in inequality and how policy changes affect the distribution of income and wealth across the economy.

I graduated from American University in 2023 with a PhD in Economics, and will be on the job market over the 2024-25 season.
