I am a second-year PhD Student in Economics at the University of California, Irvine. My fields of research are applied microeconomics, particularly public finance, labor, and economics of education.
Previously, I was a Research Associate at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, where I wrote about the overoptimism in FOMC forecasts and adjusting the unemployment rate during the COVID-19 pandemic in FRBSF Economic Letters. During my time at the Brookings Institution with the Hamilton Project, I worked on pieces related to COVID-19's impact on the LFPR for women and school enrollment for young adults.
I graduated from Simmons College in 2018 with a major in Economics and a minor in Public Policy. I completed my Masters in Public Policy with a Certificate in Research Methods at the University of Chicago in 2021.
