I am an Assistant Professor of Economics at the University of Pittsburgh. I am a development economist studying the economic consequences of social and cultural inclusion of marginalized groups, especially as it relates to their social networks, health, and labor market opportunities.

I received my Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2026. Prior to Harvard, I worked as a Research Assistant at the Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) and Innovations for Poverty Action Malawi (IPA). I graduated from the University of California San Diego in 2017 with a B.S. in Joint Mathematics/Economics.
