I am an economist and PhD candidate at the University of Minnesota, and will be on the 2024/25 Economics Job Market. I am also a Research Analyst in the Opportunity and Inclusive Growth Institute (OIGI) at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis*. I hold a BA in Economics and Mathematics from Georgetown University, an MS in Applied Economics from Johns Hopkins University, and was formerly an economist in the Current Population Survey (CPS) Office of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

I focus on the intersection of labor economics, urban economics, and public policy. My goal is to identify the most pressing challenges faced by cities, regions, and countries, and to find policy solutions that generate widespread increases in well-being.
