I am a PhD candidate in Northwestern University’s Human Development and Social Policy program and an NSF Graduate Research Fellow. I study how how public policy can alleviate inequality across several contexts, specifically focused on topics in education and labor economics.

Before starting graduate school, I worked as a Research Analyst at the University of Chicago’s Crime and Education Lab, and as a Research Assistant at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago. I graduated from The Ohio State University with a B.S. in Economics and Public Policy Analysis in 2018.
